Being a newbie, I don't know the answer to your question -- sorry! 
Perhaps the yellowdog-general list will have better answers. However, 
Terra Soft has a Web page discussing pmud:

<http://www.yellowdoglinux.com/support/solutions/ydl_general/pmud.shtml>

The command "/etc/rc.d/init.d/pmud status" should echo something like 
"pmud (pid 604) is running. . . ." (The low process ID suggests to me 
that pmud started relatively early in the startup process.)

Maybe something on that page will suggest an answer to you.

Good luck!

Best wishes,
Clint
