LDM RHEL Binary RPM, spec & ldmd init script

[Art Wildman]

I want to thank Gerry, Glen & everyone for their rpms, tips and configs. 
A little more background may help, we will be deploying a dual-node HA 
cluster at 100+ sites running RHEL & I'm on the team making some 
recommendations. The hardware is identical & will always be 
RHEL/SL/CentOS compatible, so RPMs seem appropriate to deploy LDM in a 
very simple & standard fashion. Using tarballs, install & postinstall 
scripts may also work, but as a sysadmin I'm more comfortable patching 
packages with up2date/yum & having things installed where the expert 
package builders intend them to be. I also like to get an inventory & 
version info quickly from all software via a good package management 
tool like rpm (rpm -qa | sort -f > /var/log/rpmqa.log). Building the LDM 
rpms using the spec file, calling postinstall scripts & restarting 
services may be the best option for us to keep deployment & 
documentation as simple as possible. The ability to do things the 
Vendor's way & referencing their documentation on updating software or 
setting up services is also a plus to those who have been trained 
primarily on RHEL systems. -Thanks again, Art at JAX
