[Freeipa-users] Replica installation failing

I had already blown away the new replica and reinstalled it as F17, but I
did so using the exact same replica file and it installed perfectly,
without a hitch this time. It even passed the checks that had required me
to use --skip-conncheck when installing on F18. I'll try it again in the
near future on another VM and get back to you.
