The feature design page you referenced had the configuration attributes
named incorrectly (the attribute names changed between the design and
implementation of the feature). I have updated the configuration
section of that page to be correct. Please look here for details:
http://directory.fedoraproject.org/wiki/Linked_Attributes_Design#Configuration
In short, you need to use "linkType" and "managedType" instead of
"linkAttribute" and "managedAttribute" in your config entry that you
have referenced below.
