LFD is part of CSF. Why don't you want CSF? You can easily disable things you don't want in CSF.

As far as I know there is no way to run LFD without CSF. But if you really want you should contact CSF/LFD community or developers for more reliable answer.

If to see what LFD is and what it does:
Login Failure Daemon (lfd)
To complement the ConfigServer Firewall (csf), we have developed a Login Failure Daemon (lfd) process that runs all the time and periodically (every X seconds) scans the latest log file entries for login attempts against your server that continually fail within a short period of time. Such attempts are often called "Brute-force attacks" and the daemon process responds very quickly to such patterns and blocks offending IP's quickly. Other similar products run every x minutes via cron and as such often miss break-in attempts until after they've finished, our daemon eliminates such long waits and makes it much more effective at performing its task.

Thus instead of LFD you could use Fail2Ban, or native and built-in BFM (BruteForce Manager) in Directadmin.
OVH VPS based on OpenVZ is missing I guess some kernel modules and that breaks CSF. What do you see with
