The above message contained the following:

[First off, you really should be using version 6.0.14 of the LDM.  There
have been some bug-fixes since version 6.0.10.]

I must admit, I haven't seen this problem before.

Apparently, the name of the host that's trying to connect to your LDM is
"localhost.localdomain", which is unusual.  The LDM itself is denying
the connection.

I suggest adding an ALLOW entry for "localhost.localdomain" in the
LDM configuration-file, e.g.,

    ALLOW       ANY     ^localhost\.localdomain$

Let me know if this works.
