Hello Michael,

> The "ldmadmin newlog" command is no longer rotating ldmd logs as

When did it stop working? What changed then?

> After running ldmadmin newlog, a new ldmd.log file gets created, but the

Would you please send me the output from the following commands, executed by 
the LDM user:
    cd ~/bin
    ls -l newlog refresh_logging
    cat refresh_logging

Does the following command cause logging to the new, empty log file?
    command kill -s USR1 -- -`cat $HOME/ldmd.pid`

Regards,
Steve Emmerson
