Yes!  Otherwise it is impossible to install these packages on systems with NFS
mounted /home.

I talked to a RedHat guy, and even sendmail is coming LDAP enabled this time!  I
retract all my nasty comments about RedHat.

YES!!!  This release is going to be like the Valar returning to Middle-Earth.  I
