The above messages mean that the LDM server couldn't register itself
with the RPC portmapper.  Programs that do not know which port to use to
connect to a server can get that information from the RPC portmapper.
Usually, registration failure occurs because either the RPC portmapper
isn't running or because the LDM server isn't set-uid and owned by root.
In your case, it appears that the RPC portmapper isn't running.

The LDM will still work, however, because other LDM-s will connect using
the well-known LDM port, 388.  So you can ignore these warnings.
