> So based off advice I found posted to this list about another FC4

> -tb imc-1.2.50-1-FC3-tar.gz, this created a new imc and a imc-common
> rpm. I installed those. Then I rebuilt the samba-console from source
> as well and installed the new samba-console rpm. I am now where I was
> with the straight FC3 rpms and simply get the 500 Internal Server error.
