I haven't been closely following the list recently, so I don't know why
your messages have been missed.  But here's how I start up tmda-ofmipd:

1.  I created a user ID "tofmipd".

2.  I installed TMDA for that user ID.

3.  I made sure that the ~tofmipd/.tmda/config file contains this line:

    ALLOW_MODE_640 = 1

4.  I installed the "sudo" program.

5.  I wrote the attached Perl script.

6.  I cause the Perl script to run with the argument "start"
    in order to start tmda-ofmipd, and with the argument "stop"
    to terminate it.

I couldn't get this to work with "su" ... it had to be "sudo" on my
system.

I don't recall why I wrote it in Perl.  I don't know if I had to do that
in order to make up for some deficiency in /bin/{ba,c,k,z,}sh, or if I
just wanted to use Perl for the hell of it.  But this works for me.

You'll probably have to tweak the path names in the Perl script.

Good luck!
