Donna, It looks like you still have logging problems. What is the output from the command ps -ef | grep syslog If the above shows that syslogd(8) is running, then what is the output from the command grep local0 /etc/syslog.conf If the above shows that log message from the "local0" facility will go into the LDM logfile, then please do the following: 1. Become the LDM user. 2. Send me the output from the command hupsyslog If the above command works, then please do the following: 1. Go to the directory "$HOME/src/ulog". 2. Send me the output from the command ./ulogger -l- test 3. If the above works, then execute the command ./ulogger test and send me the file $HOME/logs/ldmd.log.
