Patrick, I'm on. ssh(1) suddenly started working. Yea! The home-directory of the LDM user is non-standard: ldm@crad1:~$ ls -l total 49732 -rw-r--r-- 1 ldm ldm 24122910 Aug 24 12:06 alpha.png drwxr-x--- 3 ldm ldm 4096 Nov 16 2014 apf-9.7-2 drwxr-xr-x 2 ldm ldm 4096 Jun 10 01:48 ban drwxr-xr-x 2 ldm ldm 4096 Jul 14 15:44 bin -rw-r--r-- 1 ldm ldm 26730205 Aug 24 12:05 clouds.png drwxr-xr-x 6 ldm ldm 4096 Aug 6 17:36 data drwxr-xr-x 2 ldm ldm 12288 Oct 13 2014 decoders drwxr-xr-x 2 ldm ldm 4096 Aug 7 07:15 etc drwxr-xr-x 3 ldm ldm 4096 Jul 14 15:44 include drwxr-xr-x 51 ldm ldm 4096 Aug 7 07:20 ldm-6.12.14 drwxr-xr-x 7 ldm ldm 4096 Jul 25 2014 ldm-6.12.3 drwxr-xr-x 2 ldm ldm 4096 Jul 14 15:44 lib drwxr-xr-x 2 ldm ldm 4096 Jul 14 15:44 logs drwxr-xr-x 3 ldm ldm 4096 Aug 16 19:03 ramdisk drwxr-xr-x 4 ldm ldm 4096 Jul 14 15:44 share drwxr-xr-x 19 ldm ldm 4096 Aug 6 17:57 util drwxr-xr-x 5 ldm ldm 4096 Oct 14 2014 var There should be a symbolic-link named "runtime" to the directory of the active version of the LDM (e.g., "runtime -> ldm-6.12.14") and the "etc", "include", "lib", "logs", and "share" directories should be symbolic-links through the "runtime" directory (e.g., "lib -> runtime/lib"). Also, there should be an "src" symbolic-link to "runtime/src". Non-standard installations can cause problems (I do them -- and then blame myself when they don't work ;-). Why is the installation non-standard? Regards, Steve Emmerson Ticket Details =================== Ticket ID: FNS-542635 Department: Support LDM Priority: Normal Status: Closed
