Having that line commented out should not have caused 'ldmadmin start' to hang. I'm surprised that that fixed the problem. Often the startup will hang due to a problem with the queue or a syntax error in either ldmd.conf or pqact.conf. Are you sure it wasn't something else? It's always useful to check the log.
