I don't have an answer, but a suggestion. I recently had some problems with 
scponly after upgrading to FC5. I joined the scponly list and a very helpful 
guy named kaleb helped me out. I never got too many responses here about 
scponly - my impression is that it is not widely used by members of this 
list.
