Matt,

The command "ldmadmin start" should create the LDM logfile.  If it
doesn't, then that would cause your problem.  The following must be true
before executing that command:

* The ldmadmin(1) script is not setuid.
* The directory $HOME/logs is owned by the LDM user and writable by that
user.
* If the file $HOME/logs/ldmd.log exists, then it is owned by the LDM user.
* The command "ldmadmin start" is executed by the LDM user.

Regards,
Steve Emmerson
