Other way around.  We want 389-ds on a RHEL-5 system.  The RHEL-5 DS is 
missing features we wanted.  Since we were building from source either 
way, why not use 389-ds?  We are actually waiting for IPA to mature a 
little more and will probably pick it up when Redhat gets behind it 
again, and in the meantime we are using 389-ds.

Our problem is the RHEL hosts we have are "dark" and not connected to 
the internet.  There is this assumption nowdays that everything is 
internet communicable, which is not true.  The hosts we do have 
connected to the internet in a lab run F13 over a wireless card.
