I'm very sorry...I accidentally deleted a response to my email, and it was
a good one. Someone (Frank C.?) stated that it should be
straightforward...do a few things, and BAM! It just works!
And that is exactly what I have experienced with CentOS 5. But with
6...it's like pulling teeth. I followed the smae instructions that got me
working with 5...I don't know why I am getting the errors with 6.
