While it's good that the LDM server on Geoprod4 is listening on its well-known 
port (388), that's not relevant to a downstream LDM on Geoprod4 not being able 
to connect to the FOS server's LDM.

If rpcinfo(1) shows that an LDM server is registered on any port other than 
388, then it's likely that the LDM server program (bin/ldmd) on that host is 
not owned by root, doesn't have the setuid bit turned on, or is on a partition 
for which the operating system doesn't honor the setuid bit for programs owned 
by root. In any case, the situation would need to be corrected.
