First install of the client was on a RHEL 7 beta machine, which worked but I could not get server exclusion rules working (all or nothing), hence the server reinstall.  Next I tried ipa-client on a brand new RHEL 6.5 box.  This will NOT complete installation and the same is true for 5.10.  Different errors though.  6.5 errors out after sending xml to the ipa-server and 5.10 right after I provide the domain name.  Since both of these machines are new installs and current for the release, I have got to believe I am missing something somewhere - some missing software dependency?  I almost never have seen software in the enterprise repository that is just broken...  Help?

Most likely there some DNS issues. Please check your DNS, /etc/hosts, etc.

Can you provide any client install logs?
That would really help.

Also http://www.freeipa.org/page/Troubleshooting might be helpful.
