Nancy,

OK.

This is very strange since hupsyslog will try to run /etc/killall on
SGI systems only.  On Linux, it should:

- get the syslogd PID from the file /var/run/syslogd.pid
- run (as 'root) 'kill -HUP syslogpid

The fact that your build is trying to run /etc/killall suggests that
there were some enviornment variable definitions in place that were
appropriate for an SGI installation when 'configure' was run on your
Fedora Core 3 machine.  Is it possible that you defined some
environment variables on your FC3 machine based on experience on an SGI
machine?  If yes, please remove those definitions and rebuild your LDM
distribution from scratch:

<as 'ldm'>
cd ~ldm
-- edit shell definition file and remove the environment variables that
   were defined
logoff
login         (this is the easiest way to make sure the definitions are gone)

cd ~ldm/ldm-6.3.0/src
make distclean
./configure
make
make install
sudo make install_setuids

If inappropriately defined environment variables is not causing your
problem, please send us the contents of ~ldm/ldm-6.3.0/src/config.log
and ~ldm/ldm-6.3.0/src/macros.make.

Cheers,

Tom
