The above message contained the following:

> Nov 03 16:14:43 squall rpc.ldmd[2804] ERROR: Couldn't compile 
> regular-expression "*." near  line 83, file "/usr/local/ldm/etc/ldmd.conf":

I didn't need to look at the LDM configuration-file.  The above
error-message indicates that the regular-expression is "*." -- which is
invalid.  It needs to be rewritten as ".*" (the star metacharacter must
follow the dot metacharacter).

Make that change and then execute the command "ldmadmin start".
