Alan,

I'm not 100% sure, here's what in the preinstall instructions:

Add the following lines to file /etc/services 

                 ldm 388/udp unidata        # UCAR Unidata LDM
                 ldm 388/tcp unidata        # UCAR Unidata LDM
            

     This allows programs such as netstat to associate activity on IP port
388 with the LDM.

     Add the following line to file /etc/rpc 

                 ldmd 300029 ldm
            
This allows programs such as rpcinfo to identify RPC program number 300029
as the LDM.  

It would seem easier to just modify the file for a quick test.

Can you contact any other services on the machine, ie ftp mail ? Those 
services should be in the services and rpc files.   I'll ask
our system admin for more info.
