Dave,

> I copied and pasted the LDM server message above from the Terminal window.

I see what happened. The ldmadmin(1) script calls the LDM server (ldmd) with 
options that cause it to only check the configuration-file and to log to the 
standard error stream. Apparently, your LDM 6.11 doesn't like its 
configuration-file.

What's the output of the command

    ldm-6.11.5/bin/regutil | fgrep ldmd.conf

executed by the LDM user in their home directory?

 The only other diagnostic info corresponding to the attempt to start the LDM 
that I've got comes from the ldmd.log file:
> 
> Jun 20 12:30:22 virga pqcheck[56964] NOT]: Starting Up (56926)
> Jun 20 12:30:22 virga pqcheck[56964] NOT]: Exiting

The "pqcheck" log messages are from the utility that verifies the product-queue.

> (By the way, I added the two lines that you specified yesterday to 
> /etc/syslog.conf and the LDM is now logging messages to ~/logs instead of 
> system.log.)
