Hi Marty, re: > Rebuild is done. I sudo from another account on titan to "make root-actions" Since you can become 'root' via sudo, please do the following: -- become 'root' cd /etc -- edit rsyslog.conf and change: # Unidata LDM: local0.debug /root/var/logs/ldmd.log to: # Unidata LDM: local0.debug /data/logs/ldmd.log After this editing change is complete, the user 'ldm' needs to run 'hupsyslog': <as 'ldm'> -- after /etc/rsyslog.conf has been modified hupsyslog 'hupsyslog' sends a HUP signal to the syslog daemon telling it to close all open files; reread its configuration file (/etc/rsyslog.conf); and open all files again. The change above tells 'rsyslog' to log to the LDM log file which is (because I created it) located in /data/logs. After these changes have been made, the LDM can be started again: <as 'ldm'> ldmadmin start NB: I made the following changes: <as 'ldm'> cd ~ldm rm -rf data logs ln -s /data data mkdir /data/logs ln -s /data/logs logs The set of soft links now in place are: ~ldm/var/logs -> ~ldm/logs -> /data/logs ~ldm/var/queues -> ~ldm/data -> /data ~ldm/var/data -> ~ldm/data -> /data I expect that when the LDM is restarted that you will start seeing directories being created under /data.
