[K12OSN] LDM crashing on trying to log in.

[Gary Nutbeam]

Thanks for the info. Unfortunately I tried this with US information 
substituted and still have LDM crashing. I was running a Scientific 
Linux client and it was working better. I'll see if I can rollback to 
that, or maybe try the version out of the EPEL repo.
