Andrew, I think you may have a stale previous install on the machine. The fact that the installer wants to talk to a configuration DS is a clue -- it won't do that in a bare-metal first server install. That might also explain the permission stuff. -- Fedora-directory-devel mailing list Fedora-directory-devel@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-directory-devel
