Is SELINUX enabled? The value of the SELINUX parameter in the file 
/etc/selinux/config should be "disabled".

Does the O/S honor setuid programs that are owned by root? Execute the command 
"mount" and look for something like "nosuid".

The name of the LDM server program changed from "rpc.ldmd" to just "ldmd" 
beginning with version 6.9.0.
