As per the instructions in the 'Preinstallation Steps' link in: http://my.unidata.ucar.edu/content/software/ldm/ldm-6.0.13/index.html # Edit file /etc/syslog.conf The LDM uses the system logging daemon, syslogd, to write error messages using the local0 logging facility. * Add the following entry to file /etc/syslog.conf local0.debug /usr/local/ldm/logs/ldmd.log Note that you might have to adjust the pathname of the log-file. * Add the string local0.none to entries like the following so that LDM messages will not be written to the console (Note: entries might not be exactly like these, but they should be similar): *.err;kern.notice;auth.notice;user.none;local0.none /dev/console *.err;kern.debug;daemon.notice;mail.crit;user.none;local0.none /var/adm/messages So, at a minimum, I would adjust your: *.info;mail.none;news.none;authpriv.none;cron.none /var/log/messages entry to: *.info;mail.none;news.none;authpriv.none;cron.none;local0.none /var/log/messages >Also, how do we get a new feedtype registered?

I am afraid that we are out of spare feed types for the moment, so you will have to use the EXP feed or one of the other existing feed types that you are currently not using as long as you plan to keep _not_ using it for anything else. >Thanks for all ofyour help!
