The above message contained the following:

> Based on previous contact with your group, I am installing the source

The above means that the $hostname variable in the ldmadmin(1) script is
set to the output of the command "uname -n" and that that command
doesn't emit a fully-qualified version of the hostname.  A
fully-qualified version of the hostname is needed for certain bookeeping
operations.

The solution is to modify the installed, ldmadmin(1) script so that the
$hostname variable is correctly set.  Search for the first occurance of
that variable and follow the instructions to set it manually.
