When using the gui Service Configuration, I see the ldm service in 
there, but when highlighted, I get a status message of "env: 
/etc/init.d/ldm: No such file or directory.  Wondering now if maybe this 
was not a dos type script to start with, and it's not being recognized.  
"file ldm" says it's a bourne shell script however...  

Ideas or suggestions?
