Scott,

Is there any chance that I could log onto your system as the LDM user?  This 
would speed things up considerably.

The syslog(8) daemon should have been running and shouldn't have stopped due to 
editing its configuration-file.  What is the output from the command

    ps -ef | grep syslog

I'll have to think about the "Program/version mismatch" message.

The netstat(1) output indicates that your LDM server is listening on port 51540 
rather than on the well-known LDM port 388.  This is why your downstream LDM-s 
can't connect.  The LDM program must be owned by root and setuid.  What is the 
output from the command

    ls -l $HOME/ldm-6.4.6/bin/rpc.ldmd
