Any thoughts on where to look > for a version specific link to the conf files? The root-cause of your problem is that the value of the environment variable LDMHOME was "/usr/local/ldm/ldm-6.1.0" when version 6.3.0 of the LDM package was built: $ grep LDMHOME ~ldm/src/config.status s,@LDMHOME@,/usr/local/ldm/ldm-6.1.0,;t t ... This is causing the 6.3.0 LDM system to use the wrong directory as the root-directory of the LDM system. The solution is to rebuild the LDM 6.3.0 packge with LDMHOME either unset or set to "/usr/local/ldm". For example: $ su - ldm ... $ cd src $ make distclean ... $ LDMHOME=~ ./configure &>configure.log $ less configure.log $ make &>make.log $ less make.log $ make install &>install.log $ less install.log $ ldmadmin stop ... $ su root -c 'make install_setuids' ... $ ldmadmin start > --Gabe Regards, Steve Emmerson
