Gerry,

Good to see you too.

Oh dear. The LDM wasn't designed for that.

If the configuration-file for the system logging daemon can be modified 
appropriately, then logging to the LDM log file will occur. The log files will 
not be able to be rotated, however, because the hupsyslog(1) utility will not 
be able to send a SIGHUP to the system logging daemon.

Also, the LDM server will not be able to use port 388 -- making it difficult 
for downstream LDM-s to connect.

Does the HPC system have a web server using port 80? Does it have an ssh(1) 
daemon listening on port 22? Does it use FTP? SMTP? DNS?

Sorry. Security theater annoys me. :-)

> Thanks, Gerry

Good luck!
