Peter, > local3.debug /home/ldm/logs/ldmd.log A side issue is that the file /etc/syslog.conf should have "local3.none" entries for your system log files. For example: *.err;kern.notice;auth.notice;user.none;local3.none /dev/console *.err;kern.debug;daemon.notice;mail.crit;user.none;local3.none /var/adm/messages See <http://www.unidata.ucar.edu/software/ldm/ldm-current/basics/preinstallation.html#syslog.conf> for more information.
