[LDM #SVU-966060]: LDM - LDM hangs up.

Scott,

> [ldm@fetch1 ~]$ grep local /etc/syslog.conf
> local7.*                                                /var/log/boot.log

The file "/etc/syslog.conf" doesn't contain an entry that tells the syslogd(8) 
daemon where to write LDM log messages; consequently, they're being written to 
the system log file.

Instructions for modifying the file "/etc/syslog.conf" can be found at 
<http://www.unidata.ucar.edu/software/ldm/ldm-6.4.6/basics/preinstallation.html#syslog.conf>

You should use the facility "local3" rather than the default "local0" when you 
modify the file.

The "Connection refused" error-messages are consistent with your LDM 
disallowing the connections because it doesn't have the appropriate ALLOW 
entries in its configuration-file.

> Started it in verbose mode, what info do you want from the logs?

There should be an LDM log message about disallowing connections from your 
downstream LDM-s.

I'm glad the same LDM configuration-file is being used.  That's one less thing 
to consider.

What is the output from the following command?

    netstat --inet -t -a -n -p | grep LISTEN

Having to "kill -9" the LDM processes is very bad because it risks corrupting 
the product-queue.
