IBM. I guess the java runtime wasn't in the path correctly, but I seem 
to have fixed it now. I don't get anymore warnings when attempting to 
start the console, but I still can't start it...

The next problem is that I can't seem to get SSH X11 forwarding working 
from this server. Now, I guess I have to install a pile of Xorg packages 
onto my headless server. I am wondering how the RPM prerequisites for 
this software will evolve, seeing these initial problems I am facing. 
Mind you, the slapd works just fine. I just wanted to test the admin 
console, for no other reason than curiosity, because it hasn't ran on 
linux in a long time, but it seems that it requires some work from my end.

Please forgive me, I am a longtime Netscape DS user, but I have very 
rarely used the admin console, mainly due to it's extreme slowness. And 
when I have used it, I was used to the software coming with the java 
runtime already built-in.

I think you can close that bug due to PEBKAC.

Mike
