ddr_db file and lmf

Hi

I ran "uerf -R -r 300" on my 3000/300L and I came accross this from
recent boots

 DDR: WARNING: Unable to obtain Device
  _Information Database
      Unable to open file /etc/ddr.db
 DDR: WARNING: Basic Defaults will be
  _used.

This message has been sent all of the 21 times I (or someone else)
booted the machine since my upgrade to DUnix V4.0 (21 seems a lot!).
Since the system seems to be functioning correctly it's currently not
a problem, but I can see the file /etc/ddr.db (and the text version
/etc/ddr.dbase), so why can't the system. It's on the root partition
of my boot (SCSI) device, and the permissions on these files are 755??

Also my lmf database seems to have got mixed up, or has it? If I do a

# lmf list | sort
Product Status Users: Total Active
DECTALK-SW active unlimited
DECTALK-SW-USER active unlimited
EXT-MATH-LIB active unlimited
EXT-MATH-LIB-RT active unlimited
FORTRAN-O active unlimited
FORTRAN-O active, multiple unlimited
FORTRAN90-O active unlimited
OSF-BASE active unlimited
OSF-BASE active, multiple unlimited
OSF-BASE active, multiple unlimited
OSF-DEV active unlimited
OSF-USR active unlimited

3 copies of OSF-BASE, 2 of which are "multiple" ?? Not to mention
the 2 copies of FORTRAN-O ...

I must admit to not understanding lmf at all really, and find it a
huge pain whenever I have to install new software/versions (which
isn't my job, but if I _need_ the software then I have to do it myself
....)

TIA,
Kev
