Yes, I do. That's one of the first things I did on the machine. Is it the fact 
that I'm trying to use CentOS in this case maybe? I don't like it as much as 
RHEL but I didn't have RHEL5 on network so had a CD problem while trying to 
install it.

Now I'm trying to install this on a CentOS5 machine with no luck.

First, I tried the most basic;

# yum install iscsi-target
Loading "installonlyn" plugin
Setting up Install Process
Setting up repositories
Reading repository metadata in from local files
Parsing package install arguments
Nothing to do

# yum install iscsitarget
Loading "installonlyn" plugin
Setting up Install Process
Setting up repositories
Reading repository metadata in from local files
Parsing package install arguments
Nothing to do

Then I downloaded several versions and have been trying various combinations.
The closest I've gotten so far is the following.

# yum install dkms-iscsi_trgt-0.4.13-2fc5.i386.rpm
iscsitarget-0.4.13-2fc5.i386.rpm dkms-1.09-3.at.noarch.rpm
