Hmmm....interesting...I installed this on RHEL4 x64 using a package
built from the spec file...I figured the lack of domain was what caused
this...however, I didn't get all the tests to show (or the ghost to
disappear) until I made the case match...unfortunately I don't have
another server I can verify with...yet.
