Walter,

Here's a hupsyslog that should work on the different version on Linux,
etc. I would replace the original with the attached one to this message:

% cp hupsyslog hupsyslog.orig
- get the one from mail message
- as root, make it owned by root and suid root also.  Detail instrustions
on Web page.

Let me know if you have problems.  Did you get a clean LDM build?
