Logging by the LDM isn't working on either system. That must be fixed before I 
can diagnose the problem.

The following must be done by user "root".

On Flightrisk, add "local0.none" to the entry for the log file 
"/var/log/system.log":

    
*.notice;authpriv,remoteauth,ftp,install.none;kern.debug;mail.crit;local0.none  
    /var/log/system.log

Then change the log file for the "local0.debug" entry from 
"/Volumes/westwing/ldm/logs/ldmd.log" to "/Users/ldm/logs/ldmd.log":

    local0.debug                                                                
        /Users/ldm/logs/ldmd.log

Use tabs to separate the fields.

On Measwx, add "local2.none" to the entries for log files "/var/log/system.log" 
and "/var/log/secure.log":

    *.notice;authpriv,remoteauth,ftp,install,internal.none,local2.none  
/var/log/system.log
    auth.info;authpriv.*;remoteauth.crit;local2.none                    
/var/log/secure.log

Then add the following entry:

    local2.debug                                                        
/Users/ldm/logs/ldmd.log

Again, use tabs to separate the fields.

The LDM package on Measwx will have to be rebuilt to use the "local2" logging 
facility rather than the (default) "local0". I can do that if you want.

Let me know when you've got this done.

Regards,
Steve Emmerson
