Just thought I would post this here as it may help someone in the future.
I could not get LFD to start on 2 VPS's that had minimal installs of Ubuntu.
In the end what worked for me was installing sendmail.
Could not get LFD to start. What worked for me.
Re: Could not get LFD to start. What worked for me.
Check /var/log/lfd.log to see why lfd is not starting.
