[LDM #RFW-547712]: LDM Registry and Log Rotation Questions

Shane - you inadvertently told me what your issue is: you do not have write 
permissions for the ~ldm/etc/registry.xml file, which is where the 
configuration for how many files to keep is kept.  And that makes me wonder if 
you have permissions to write logs.

Once logged in as the "ldm" account, if you do "id ldm" - you should see your 
user and group(s) ids according to the OS.

This is significant in that one of two things needs fixed in your install:

1) either /opt/ldm/* is not owned by the "ldm" account - such as 
/opt/ldm/etc/registry.xml, /opt/ldm/var/logs, etc.

-or-

2) the mode of the directories or files are too protective . . . which, if you 
login to "ldm" and then"

find . -type d -exec chmod 755 {} \;

Could remedy as long as all the files under /opt/ldm are owned by ldm.

Once you resolve the permissions issue, then log files should appear, and with 
that, the proper rotation.
