Hi James,

The file ~ldm/logs/ldmd.log must exist before the syslog daemon will
write to it - it will not be created for you.  If you inadvertently
deleted it then you must create it again.  Do 'touch ~ldm/logs/ldmd.log'
to create a 0 length file.  From there, the syslog daemon will take over
and write messages to the file.

Try this, and let me know if this fixes your problem or not.

Anne
