Our LDM developer will need to weigh-in on why 'bin/ldmd -vl - -n etc/ldmd.conf'
is dumping core, but I can tell you what you need to do to fix your ldmd.conf
problem:

- move the REQUEST line which is currently the last line in the file to anywhere
  before the last ACCEPT entry in the file

  For instance, the following works fine:

#
###############################################################################
# Accept Entries
###############################################################################
# ACCEPT: Who can feed us, currently this action is ONLY needed for WSI data
#
# accept <feedset> <pattern> <hostname pattern>
#
# accept anything from yourself
#
accept  ANY     ".*"            ^((localhost|loopback)|(127\.0\.0\.1\.?$))
accept  EXP     "^rtstats.*"    ^castor\.rcac\.purdue\.edu\.?$
accept  EXP     "^rtstats.*"    ^pollux\.rcac\.purdue\.edu\.?$
accept  EXP     "^rtstats.*"    ^blizzard\.rcac\.purdue\.edu\.?$
request CRAFT   ".*"    pollux.rcac.purdue.edu
accept  EXP     "^rtstats.*"    ^[a-z].*\.eas\.purdue\.edu\.?$

  But this will cause the core dump:

#
###############################################################################
# Accept Entries
###############################################################################
# ACCEPT: Who can feed us, currently this action is ONLY needed for WSI data
#
# accept <feedset> <pattern> <hostname pattern>
#
# accept anything from yourself
#
accept  ANY     ".*"            ^((localhost|loopback)|(127\.0\.0\.1\.?$))
accept  EXP     "^rtstats.*"    ^castor\.rcac\.purdue\.edu\.?$
accept  EXP     "^rtstats.*"    ^pollux\.rcac\.purdue\.edu\.?$
accept  EXP     "^rtstats.*"    ^blizzard\.rcac\.purdue\.edu\.?$
accept  EXP     "^rtstats.*"    ^[a-z].*\.eas\.purdue\.edu\.?$
request CRAFT   ".*"    pollux.rcac.purdue.edu

Why the former example causes a core dump and the latter does not,
I can't say.  I did verify that the former example works and the
latter does not.

As a matter of readability, I suggest putting all REQUEST lines in the
same part of the file.

re:
> Thanks!

No worries.

Cheers,

Tom
