No, yum is correct. These files are not provided by yum (i.e. in the package) they are instead created when you set up your instances, by ipa eventually calling setup-ds.pl the reason ipa moved them from /usr to /var is that they felt it was not proper to dynamically create files under /usr since many deployments want /usr to be mounted read-only. > regards > > Steven Jones > > Technical Specialist - Linux RHCE > > Victoria University, Wellington, NZ > > 0064 4 463 6272 > > ________________________________________ > From: Rich Megginson [[email protected]] > Sent: Friday, 30 September 2011 10:40 a.m. > To: Steven Jones > Cc: Deon Lackey; [email protected] > Subject: Re: [Freeipa-users] backing up and restoring the backend > > On 09/29/2011 03:35 PM, Steven Jones wrote: >> 4.3.1.2.
