[389-users] Documentation to set up 389DS on Centos 6.2

[Alberto Suárez]

Hi Russell,

Thank you for your scripts.

I did not configure SSL for any particular bit of the software, I just 
followed the instructions given in the document "Configuring SSL Enabled 
Fedora Directory Server" found in fedora project's website. At a point 
it links to your script. I was wondering if the problem might come from 
likely differences between Centos 5 and Centos 5.

Thank you for your hint. I will look into it.

Alberto.

Is the process owner of the admin server fedora-ds and does that user have read access to the whole tree?  If you become that user can you see the files?
