ack.

I don't understand all the details, but "Rob did it, so it must be
right!".

To the extent that I understand this patch, I reviewed it and things
look fine.  I couldn't install IPA after I built the rpms because I got
a "Missing Dependency: slapi-nis >= 0.14" under Fedora 10.  Is this
package build-able under Fedora 10, or do I need to test this under
Fedora 11?

Anyway, it seems we need to get this committed to move forward.
