Cornell,

The LDM system doesn't have the capability to disable all logging (that 
use-case doesn't make much sense and we never considered it).

If you enable SELINUX, however, then all logging to the LDM log-file will 
cease. We've seen this. You will have to reboot your computer, however.

You might be interested in this posting on StackExchange: 
<http://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/79311/configuring-selinux-to-allow-logging-to-a-file-thats-outside-var-log>.
 I've been wanting to try it out, but I would have to reboot my desktop (which 
I don't want to do). If you use this, then please let me know how it worked.
