From this command and the error- message, however, I think that the syslog(8) daemon is saying that it doesn't have permission to write to file /usr/local/ldm/logs/ldmd.log. This is odd because the syslog(8) daemon should be executed as root and should be able to write to any file if you're not running SELINUX. What are the file permissions for /usr/local/ldm/logs/ldmd.log? Regards, Steve Emmerson Ticket Details =================== Ticket ID: USC-745284 Department: Support LDM Priority: Normal Status: Closed
