[Freeipa-users] FreeIPA v2.2.0 on F17 not starting

Fri May 18 16:37:28 UTC 2012

Hi,

i solved the problem by downgrading the 389-ds-base from the one that comes with F17 - 1.2.11.3-1 to the one that comes with F16. I essentially did a rpmbuild --rebuild of the 1.2.10.8-1 srpm. Right now everything seems fine. It seems freeipa doesn't work ok with the 1.2.11 tree of 389-ds.

Br,
--ilf
