20030803: Solaris 9 support for Unidata packages (cont.)

Thanks for the quick turn-around !

Making `install_setuids' in directory /usr/local/ldm/ldm-6.0.14/src/ulog

/usr/ccs/bin/make PROGRAM=hupsyslog \
    /home/ldm/ldm-6.0.14/bin/hupsyslog
`/home/ldm/ldm-6.0.14/bin/hupsyslog' is up to date.
chown root /home/ldm/ldm-6.0.14/bin/hupsyslog && \
chmod 4755 /home/ldm/ldm-6.0.14/bin/hupsyslog

Returning to directory /usr/local/ldm/ldm-6.0.14/src


Making `install_setuids' in directory /usr/local/ldm/ldm-6.0.14/src/server

/usr/ccs/bin/make PROGRAM=rpc.ldmd \
    /home/ldm/ldm-6.0.14/bin/rpc.ldmd
`/home/ldm/ldm-6.0.14/bin/rpc.ldmd' is up to date.
chown root /home/ldm/ldm-6.0.14/bin/rpc.ldmd && \
