Bug Description

Currently LDM expects LDM_SERVER environment variable to be set. If this requirement is not set it crashes with segmentation fault.

LDM should handle cases where required environment variables aren't set or files are missing and simply exit with a non-zero return code.

We might end up adding some checks for that in the code but it's really really low priority as you should never start ldm directory but always through /usr/share/ltsp/screen.d/ldm which guarantees that LDM_SERVER along with some other environment variables are always set.

summary: - Segfault is LDM_SERVER is not set

I just tried running /usr/sbin/ldm in Ubuntu 14.04 and it didn't crash, closing as fix-released.
