This request was evaluated by Red Hat Product Management for inclusion in a Red Hat Enterprise Linux maintenance release. Product Management has requested further review of this request by Red Hat Engineering, for potential inclusion in a Red Hat Enterprise Linux Update release for currently deployed products.

Note that in fc6 the selinux policy prevents the kadmin server to access the dict file in /usr. My production kerberos servers are in rhel4 and it works there but none of my kerberos servers have rhel5 yet so I cannot test there. Just a heads up in case it does cause problems.
CCing Dan so that he can track the policy change, moving to MODIFIED.
