ok, I should have read a bit further on the page and found info on GSS
failures :(  I can successfully add a user from the command line.
haven't tried the web interface yet but suspect that will work. btw, why
 are most of the commands ipa-<task><object> (e.g., ipa-adduser) except
for mod? They are ipa-groupmod and ipa-usermod?

The only thing I did different this time was apply the dirsrv patch. We
didn't do that in the initial "hand-holding" session so I guessed it was
"old". mod_auth_kerb was fine. Didn't see anything about PyKerberos...

At the moment I'm running only the server. I have another vm handy that
I'm going to put a client on. I prefer to test/document in some
semblance of a "real" environment.

mgregg helped me with initial hostname requirements so that part I've
got under control.

Currently on 32-bit F7.

thanks
