Thanks, Steve.  Just curious, how does this rpm differ from the one at  
freshrpms?

We'll eventually move to FC1 and then FC2.  We only recently migrated  
to RH9 because RH7.2 no longer worked for us, RH9 works good enough for  
now, and we are comfortable enough with RH9.  We experimented somewhat  
with FC1 and found that some things did not work for us, mostly some  
3rd-party software that required older packages and libraries to be  
installed.

We are, however, noticing some flakey NFS behaviour with the stock RH9  
install, something we did not notice in RH7.2.  Nothing tragic, just  
annoying.  Hopefully, updating the kernel and an 'apt-get upgrade' will  
resolve those issues.
