Logging is essential for monitoring an LDM system.  We'll have to
get it working.

As the LDM user, what is the output of the following commands:

    ps -ef | grep syslog
    ls -l $HOME/bin/hupsyslog
    grep LOG_LDM $HOME/include/ldmconfig.h
    echo $ULOG_FACILITY_OVERRIDE
    ls -l /etc/*syslog.conf
    grep local /etc/*syslog.conf
    test -f /etc/selinux/config && grep ^SELINUX= /etc/selinux/config
    mount

As an exercise, see if you can figure-out what I'm trying to determine
from the above.  :-)
