Hi Rick, Sorry for the silence yesterday... our governing committees are meeting here in Boulder this week (T-Th), and we need to be in the meeting for certain portions to answer questions, so getting to support questions can be very difficult. re: > Your last suggestion was enlightening.

An LDM installation includes one step that needs 'root' privilege to complete, and that portion will add the setuid root bit to the LDM utilities that you listed. Question: - what user were you when you tried to run 'ldmd'? If you were not 'oper', can you become 'oper'? re: > Is blindly changing the permissions on ldmd going to be okay or should I > worry about the others shown above. Blindly changing permissions is a BAD idea; please don't do it!
