Ka Kit,

Remember I was telling you about halo not being configured correctly and
the patches need to be installed. Well, this is the first gotcha.  The
scour script uses /bin/pwd to change to the directory to delete the old
ldm files. The script was unable to execute pwd, so I tried to circumvent
the using pwd and scour delete half of your ldm distribution.  The only
major concern is that your pqact.conf file was deleted.  Do you have a
back up copy of the pqact.conf file? The rest of  the distribution can be
installed quickly.  I'll let you know the status after the ldm code
install, but the pqact.conf would really speed up the process.
