Hi,

Would you please become the LDM user in their home-directory and send me the 
output of the command "ls -l".

The long listing of your LDM program

    -rwxr-xr-x 1 ldm ldm 148880 Dec 19  2016 ldmd

shows that it's *not* owned by root and setuid. It must be in order to work 
correctly.

You might be able fix things by
    1. Becoming the LDM user in their home directory
    2. Stopping the LDM
    3. cd(1)ing to "src/"
    4. Becoming root
    5. Executing the command "make root-actions"

When you've done this, would you please send me a long listing of the LDM 
program.

> Thanks. The machine OS was updated recently. maybe that's the problem. I
> attached the thing in ./bin.

Regards,
Steve Emmerson
