The above message contained the following:

Good.

The above indicates that the default pqact(1) is the version 6.3.0
one, and that that version differs from version 6.1.0 of pqact(1).

When combined with the output from the "ldmadmin confg" command (most
notably the value of the PATH environment variable) and the symbolic
links in the LDM user's home directory, the above should guarantee that
version 6.3.0 of pqact(1) will be executed by the LDM server.  Your
assertion that version 6.1.0 of pqact(1) is, instead, executed indicates
that a faulty assumption has been made.

Assumptions I made:

    The outputs you sent me were from commands executed by the LDM user.

    The LDM user's home directory is /usr/local/ldm.

    You restarted the LDM after making the changes.

    Only one LDM is running.

Are these assumptions all good?
