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@JAX

Hi folks,
1. Looking for an LDM RHEL-4+ RPM binary or rpm.spec files? If not, I
may be interested in building one for i386 (advice welcome).
2. Does anyone have a ldmd init script for RHEL that can support some
of the advanced RH Linux features listed below (chkconfig, service,
PID files & locks).
3. Are there any other gotchas (like syslog) running LDM at Boot as a
service?
