Okay, it took me a while to figure out this one.

The first problem is that 'groupadd -r' doesn't know that the 100-200
range is reserved for system accounts:

  https://bugzilla.redhat.com/515667

This sounds nasty, but it's actually not too bad - 'groupadd -r' should
allocate gids from 499 downwards.

However, in rawhide and F-11 updates-testing, this was broken recently:

  https://bugzilla.redhat.com/515671

You need to do something like:

  1) downgrade to shadow-utils-4.1.2-13.fc11

  2) yum erase openvpn qemu*

  3) groupdel openvpn

  4) yum install openvpn qemu

This should be resolved now.

Thanks,
Mark.
