That sentence was key and helped me to find the problem. There was a bug in
the scripts that was using which cases netldi to be started as root and
then that causes some problem. I am now starting netldi with the correct
user, and when I log from GemTools, I see the correct values so it is
getting the correct conf files.

Thanks for the help!!!
