Andre,

Is the utility "~ldm/bin/hupsyslog" owned by "root" and setuid? If not, then 
the "sudo make install_setuids" command didn't work.

Incidentally, that command should, instead, be "sudo make root-actions".

Does the operating-system honor the setuid attribute for the disk partition 
associated with "~ldm/bin". You can check this via the mount(1) utility. If 
not, then you'll either have to change that mount-attribute, or re-install the 
LDM someplace else.

Is SELINUX enabled? You can check with the command "selinuxenabled && echo 
yes". If so, then it will either need to be set to "disabled" or "permissive" 
in order to allow the LDM to log outside of "/var/log".
