I followed the same directions on Centos5 with the exceptions of picking 
up the Sun jdk from the OpenNMS yum repository, and having to track down 
the mysql-connector-java-5.0.8-1jpp.noarch.rpm from somewhere (it would 
have been standard in fedora).  The web side came up OK, but now I want 
the cifs share...
