Comment 2 Rob Crittenden 2011-02-07 17:47:46 UTC 
This was fixed as a side-effect of adding a default max value to integer type options. The new error is a more reasonable:

ipa: ERROR: invalid 'sizelimit': can be at most 2147483647

Summary     : The IPA authentication server
Description :
IPA is an integrated solution to provide centrally managed Identity (machine,
user, virtual machines, groups, authentication credentials), Policy
(configuration settings, access control information) and Audit (events,
logs, analysis thereof). If you are installing an IPA server you need
to install this package (in other words, most people should NOT install
this package).

Automated regression test exists.
