We've never used SELINUX, don't want to use SELINUX, and probably
will never use SELINUX. Consequently, we have no idea how to use
SELINUX.
You might try having the LDM log to the /var/log partition via
a symbolic link. Try this as the LDM user:
sudo mkdir /var/log/ldm
sudo chown ldm /var/log/ldm
cd
mv logs logs.old
ln -s /var/log/ldm logs
ldmadmin newlog
ls -l logs/

Please let me know if the approach I described works or not.
