So, aren't computer programs supposed to be able to deal with 
complicated cases, or just not free computer programs?  Or is the input 
syntax just too weird?  While s-c-bind may not have been the right 
answer, it just seems odd as a missing piece in the distribution and 
epel-provided packages.  Almost as odd as not having a network-aware 
authentication mechanism working as a server out of the box on your 
initial install - as though it would be unusual to have more than one 
computer and want those initial users to be able to log into the others 
you'd add later.
