Hi Mike,

Excellent!

I think that you ran into this because it is a new machine (?).  We do
not think that this is a common problem since your's was the first
inquiry like this that we have seen.

>This didn't seem to be an issue in earlier versions of the LDM.

As far as I know, the code that does the connection to see if another
LDM is already running after doing a gethostname has not changed since
LDM-5.  I think that you were just unlucky in having a conflict in
/etc/sysconfig/network and /etc/hosts.

>Thanks so much,

No worries.
