You didn't misunderstand.  The reason I told you to use "local3" instead of 
"local0" was because a previous response from you indicated that you told the 
LDM build-system to configure the LDM that way:

> [root@fetch1 srs]# grep LOG_LDM /shared/ldm/src/config/ldmconfig.h
> #define LOG_LDM LOG_LOCAL3

If you hadn't told the configure-script to configure the LDM to use "local3" 
instead of "local0", then the above grep(1) would have said LOG_LOCAL0.  I'm 
just curious why you decided to use the "local3" facility rather than the 
default "local0".

Steve Emmerson
