LDM not starting up automaticallyMary, 

I am running Solaris 8 on a Sun machine, and had the same problem.  Look at the 
following and see how to solve the problem.  It is correspondence with Anne 
Wilson at Unidata, and how I solved the problem.  I think I moved my .login 
file aside, and things ran fine.  It's not a perfect fix, but it works and 
things have run smoothly since.

Hi Patrick,

Here's another thought about the ldm not starting at boot problem.  I'm
wondering about the 'su -' aspect of the script that makes the shell a
login shell.  There are two things I'd like you to try:

1) Try moving just the .login file to the side and then rebooting.  

2) Keep .login in place, but modify the script as follows:

                /bin/su ldm -c "$LDMBIN/ldmadmin delqueue"
                /bin/su ldm -c "$LDMBIN/ldmadmin mkqueue"
#               /bin/su ldm -c "$LDMBIN/ldmadmin delsurfqueue"
#               /bin/su ldm -c "$LDMBIN/ldmadmin mksurfqueue"
                /bin/su ldm -c "$LDMBIN/ldmadmin start"

That is, take out the '-' argument to su.

The former does a login but doesn't execute your .login, and the latter
will not do a login at all.  Please let me know what happens.

Anne

  Hello, 
     I am having difficulty in getting LDM to start up automatically on my 
machine running Solaris 8.  The really strange thing is that when I run the 
start-up script manually, LDM starts up without any problems.  However, 
whenever the machine is rebooted, LDM does not start even though it is using 
the same start-up script.  I have checked ldmd.log and found no start errors.  
I have double-checked that the ownership of the files is user ldm and not root. 
 I have verified that rpc is running fine by checking rpcinfo -p.  What else 
should I check?  Thanks.
