[ldm-users] LDM Logging Problems

We're still unable to get LDM logging running on our new box - thought we'd run 
some stuff by the group to see where we might be going wrong.

The LDM (6.9.8) is running fine, but we can't seem to get any kind of logging. 

We're running Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server release 6.1, using rsyslog for 
our logging dameon. 

In rsyslog.conf, we have the following entry: 

local0.debug                                            
/home/ldm/var/logs/ldmd.log

and I verified that an appropriate entry (e.g. ldm 300029 ldmd)  was appended 
to the /etc/rpc file. 

When I start the LDM for the first time, ldmd.log is created in $HOME/var/logs, 
but it remains empty.  If I delete it, a log file is created once I start the 
LDM again, but it's empty.

I'm assuming when one builds from source you no longer have to specify a home 
directory if it is different than /usr/local/ldm (we use /home/ldm). 

In /var/log/messages we receive the following every time we start the LDM:

Jul 21 11:11:25 twister2 rsyslogd: [origin software="rsyslogd" 
swVersion="4.6.2" x-pid="9035" x-info="http://www.rsyslog.com";] rsyslogd was 
HUPed, type 'restart'.
Jul 21 11:11:25 twister2 kernel: Kernel logging (proc) stopped.
Jul 21 11:11:25 twister2 kernel: imklog 4.6.2, log source = /proc/kmsg started.
Jul 21 11:11:25 twister2 rsyslogd: [origin software="rsyslogd" 
swVersion="4.6.2" x-pid="9035" x-info="http://www.rsyslog.com";] (re)start


I have tried  building the LDM both with and without supplying the root 
password when configuring, but it doesn't seem to make any difference -- 
hupsyslog is owned by root. I'm fairly certain this is fine, but here's our 
configure directive when we build. 

[ldm@twister2 src]$ ./configure --enable-logging=local0 CC=/usr/bin/gcc 
>configure.log 2>&1

Thanks for any insight -- If I can provide any other helpful info, please let 
me know.
