Right - sorry, the new server's 6.3. Actually, I've just tried, and must
be missing something, because now doing just what you suggested, which I
*thought* I'd done before, it only wants to install ruby-libs, not
iputils, nor, for that matter, graphviz-(whatsit).

My manager figures that there's a ruby script in ibutils, which makes sense.
