Peter, If you're having to run the portmapper daemon in order for the LDM system to work, then I suspect that the LDM server isn't getting its well-known port, 388. This could be because the LDM server program, bin/ldmd, isn't owned by "root" and setuid. What is the output of the command ls -l bin/ldmd bin/hupsyslog executed by the LDM user in their home-directory? > Two RHEL systems, both running 6.10.1 for the last month or two. > > In the last week, data no longer flows smoothly. > > Today, I could get one to work but not the other.
