The computer I am running the LDM on is > c109-10.engr.colostate.edu. Logging must work; otherwise, you won't be able to diagnose problems. Did you edit the file "/etc/syslog.conf"? Is the "syslogd" daemon running? Are the LDM programs "bin/hupsyslog" and "bin/rpc.ldmd" setuid and owned by "root"? Does the LDM log file "logs/ldmd.log" exist and is it writable? Does the command "logger -p local0.debug" "LDM test" put a message into the LDM log file? If the operating system is Linux, does the file "/etc/selinux/config" exist? If it exists, is the variable SELINUX set to "disabled"? Regards, Steve Emmerson Ticket Details =================== Ticket ID: KGJ-163844 Department: Support LDM Priority: Normal Status: On Hold
