Subject: troubles stopping ldm with ldmadmin on linux

Hi all:  I have recently been having troubles stopping LDM via 'ldmadmin
stop' on linux.  The ldmadmin script seems to not check correctly if all
LDM kids are killed off.  The result is that after an 'ldmadmin stop',
one must wait for a minute or so for all rpc.ldmd children to die.  If
one tries 'ldmadmin start' during this time, it hangs...

I have made a small patch to 'ldmadmin' which seems to clean up this
problem.  Instead of just killing off the rpc.ldmd process group leader,
it kills off all the kids too.

Attached is the new ldmadmin script.

Regards, 

  Doug Hunt
