   I found out why. $HOME was correctly set to /home/ldm but when I made
$LDMHOME=/home/ldm then this problem does not appear.

~~~~~~~~~~~~
We have set up our LDM systems with LDMHOME=/home/ldm

So, why do I see an error that the directory /home/etc cannot be made?

 This error seems to cause the location of the file regutil.xml to be in
the wrong place
​:​

[ldm@ldm3 ~]$ regutil
> regutil ERROR: No such file or directory
> regutil ERROR: [backend.c:159] Couldn't open file "/home/etc/registry.xml"
> for reading
> regutil ERROR: [registry.c:537] Couldn't synchronize node "/"
> regutil ERROR: [registry.c:851] Couldn't get value of key "/"

[ldm@ldm3 ~]$
