Re: LDM 5.1.2. RedHat 7 Install

Justin,

The LDM has gone through a fair number of changes since 5.0.5.
Off the top of my head (at my less than finest hour) I'm wondering if
you're expecting to configure 5.1.2 the same as 5.0.5.  In particular,
are you trying to use ldmadmin.conf to configure ldmadmin?  That has
not been in use for some time. Also, I presume you started with a new
queue with your new installation, right?

I don't think you should rebuild the kernal just yet. If it's not
the above then I'd like to ask you the standard questions.  We can
take this off line.
