The ownership and file-modes of hupsyslog(1) and ldmd(1) look OK.

Perhaps your operating system doesn't honor the setuid bit for programs owned 
by root in that partition. What is the output of the mount(1) command?

The file "/home/ldm/bin/rpc.ldmd" shouldn't exist. Have you done something 
unusual with the installation?

Steve Emmerson
