What logs? LDM or system? What are the log messages, exactly? > Using "ethereal" on linux I do get the wrong port number. > HP is sending on 388, but linux is receiving on a different port. The LDM on the Linux system isn't listening on port 388? The only way I can imagine this is if the rpc.ldmd program in the bin/ subdirectory isn't set-uid-root. Please send me a long listing of that file, e.g. cd $LDMHOME ls -l bin/rpc.ldmd If it is set-uid-root, then would you please send me the output of executing the "netstat" utility on the Linux system while the LDM is running. > Is it possible that the mismatch of the versions of ldmd > is causing this problem? It's not very likely. LDM 6 is designed to be backward compatible with LDM 5 and part of the testing of that aspect of the design was a version 5 ldmping(1) connecting to a version 6 LDM. > If so, how do I fix it. > > I am using the binary version of 5.2.2 for HPUX 10.20. Any chance you can upgrade the HP-UX system to LDM 6? We don't yet have a binary version available, but installing from source only takes about 3 minutes. If we can remotely-access the HP-UX system via the ssh(1) utility as the LDM user, then we'd be happy to install it for you. > Thanks for all of your help. > > Mark.....
