Hi Gerry,

re:

I noticed that bigbird was unreachable this morning when I tried to
contact it after upgrading sasquatch to LDM-6.4.5.2 (soon to be
6.4.5).

I just logged onto bigbird and did as much of the LDM-6.4.5.2 installation
as I could without 'root' privilege ('ldm' is not in the sudoers file
on bigbird after the rebuild).  If you want to finish the LDM upgrade
please do the following:

<as 'root'>
cd ~ldm/ldm-6.4.5.2/src
make install_setuids

<as 'ldm'>
cd ~ldm
ldmadmin stop && rm runtime && ln -s ldm-6.4.5.2 runtime && ldmadmin start

If you want me to finish the upgrade, please let me know when 'ldm'
has been (re)added to the sudoers file.

Cheers,

Tom

Tom,

Noted.  I'll try to do it now.  We took everyone out of sudo'ing to root 
after we had a privilege/misuse problem... NOT you guys.

Thanks, gerry
