This sounds like /etc/hosts is missing the entry defining localhost:

127.0.0.1       localhost loopback

(Note that the whitespace between 127.0.0.1 and localhost is a tab!)

I believe that your problem is the lack of the localhost entry
in /etc/hosts.

Also, did you do the last LDM installation step as 'root':

<as 'ldm'>
cd ldm-6.3.0/src
./configure
make
make install

<as 'root'>
cd ~ldm/ldm-6.3.0/src
make install_setuids

>Our System is an Opteron with FreeBSD 5.4

OK, thanks.  We are not running an LDM under FreeBSD 5.4 here at
the UPC, but another site (Plymouth State) is running the LDM with
no errors.

I just took a look at the Plymouth machine running the LDM,
storm.plymouth.edu, under FreeBSD 5.4 and see that their /etc/hosts
file's entry for local host is a little different than what I showed
above.  Here is their entries:

%cat /etc/hosts
::1                     localhost.plymouth.edu localhost
127.0.0.1               localhost.plymouth.edu localhost
158.136.64.200          storm.plymouth.edu storm
158.136.64.200          storm.plymouth.edu.

Please try the simple mod to /etc/hosts that I suggested at the
beginning of this email.  If that doesn't work, try making
modifications like the ones that Plymouth uses.  In either case, please
let us know what works and what doesn't.  Thanks!

Cheers,
