Hello all -

I've got an interesting oddity happening here with our LDM.  At seemingly
random times, our LDM with just stops ingesting.  When this first happened,
I couldn't figure out for the life of me what happened.  It turns out
somehow the ldmd.conf file became zero-bytes.  It just happened again...

-rw-rw-r--   1 ldm  ldm      0 Jan 12 10:15 ldmd.conf
-rw-rw-r--   1 ldm  ldm   1622 Dec 16 16:01 netcheck.conf
-rw-rw-r--   1 ldm  ldm   1622 Dec 16 16:01 netcheck.conf.dist
-rw-rw-r--   1 ldm  ldm  15671 Jan 11 10:38 pqact.conf


It's an easy fix as I just have to copy over a backup ldmd.conf file and
restart the LDM, but what a pain!  As anyone ever experienced this ever???
My guess is no, but I thought I'd at least see if anyone has an explanation
for this.

We're running the LDM on FreeBSD which isn't a supported OS platform, but I
know the fellows at Plymouth State are running it successfully and I haven't
heard of this issue from them.
