The LDM administration-file (bin/ldmadmin) looks OK.

The top-level directory structure looks OK.

The "bin/" subdirectory looks OK.

Regarding the LDM configuration-file:

    1.  There are no "request" lines, so no data will be received and
        pqact(1) won't have anything to do.

    2.  There's an "exec pqbinstats ..." entry but no corresponding
        "ldmadmin dostats" entry in the LDM user's crontab(1) file;
        consequently, I commented-out the "exec pqbinstats ..." entry.

    3.  If Cirrus will NOT be a "gateway" LDM host (i.e., a host that
        receives data from the outside or sends data to the outside)
        then you should comment-out the "exec rtstats" entry.

The LDM product-queue needed to be created, so I did an "ldmadmin
mkqueue".

The syslogd(8) configuration-file looks OK.

I suggest that you add some "request" entries to your LDM
configuration-file and try the LDM.  Contact me if you encounter any
problems.
