Hi, re: > See attached files. The output of the 'ls -alt bin/' command shows that the final step in the installation process was not completed: -rwxr-xr--. 1 ldm ldm 68960 Oct 22 16:24 ldmd -rwxr-xr--. 1 ldm ldm 12696 Oct 22 16:24 hupsyslog These should look like: -rwsr-xr-- 1 root ustaff 52214 Oct 13 08:43 ldmd -rwsr-xr-- 1 root ustaff 11130 Oct 13 08:43 hupsyslog Note that the second has the setuid root bit and yours does not. Given this, what needs to be done now is: <as 'root'> cd ~ldm/etc/ldm-6.13.12/src make root-actions After doing this, create the same long listing and verify that the setuid root bit is set on 'ldmd' and 'hupsyslog'. If they are, you should be able to run the LDM with no problems.
