I'm not trying to be an ass here but this might be better suited for an 
RPM list because they would know more than we might and might be able to 
do better diagnostics because they primarily use RPM distros.  Around 
here we are Deb fans.  Not hating because Linux is Linux but I certainly 
don't know near as much about RPM distros as I do about Deb based 
distros and I certainly wouldn't be able to debug and diagnose near as 
well as I would on a Deb distro and I'm sure lots around here are like that.
