I checked on my Fedora system and the file list from popt-devel seemed to have a lot more than just the popt on CentOS but I didn't look at it all that closely. As I said, I just commented it out (the dependency). ---- > > When I commented out the requirement for popt-devel in > > the spec file, of course it wouldn't build anyway (ldapi-plugin-winsync > > didn't seem to me to be related to popt-devel but who knows). ;-( > > Definitely not related. > > Have you looked into the CentOS Directory Server instead? > http://wiki.centos.org/HowTos/DirectoryServerSetup > > I don't know if that one contains all the components of FreeIPA, but > at least the main ones should be there. ---- no, I haven't and I probably will. I wanted to play with freeipa because I had a little time for experimenting. I typically use OpenLDAP but have Fedora-DS running at a clients place. I think I like OpenLDAP more but I would like Fedora-DS (or CentOS-DS) more if it were integrated with kerberos, policy and audit. ---- > > > It would seem that if Red Hat were serious about freeipa, they would > > make it so that it actually could build a non-ancient version on RHEL > > (CentOS). > > As usual, if you want cutting-edge it will be in Fedora.

My typical client is < 50 users and having a server just for authentication is harder to justfiy. I myself have an older server which doesn't support hardware virtualization. Perhaps you're right, I set up something in virtualization and use Fedora but the churn rate of Fedora is just too much, especially for an authentication server.
