Hi Gilbert,

I drove your email into our support tracking system.

Tom should be able to answer this.

Assuming "/home/ldm/var/logs/ldmd.log" is the default LDM log file, the "-l 
..." option is unnecessary.

It shouldn't.

By "files" I assume you mean the messages.

The messages shouldn't be garbled because the LDM logging module locks the log 
file when it writes a message.
