Yup, but dang I was confused on where it went.  Everything I've read said 
put it somewhere different.  Error logs are you friends.

I didn't compile, I used everything stock from the Caldera 3.11 server 
install. A bad idea now I know, if I'd done it on my own or recompiled, I'd 
know which it was, among other things.

Yeah...  See I do try, I hate being a clueless newbie, or at least acting 
like one.  I always try to cover the bases myself, so I don't get RTFM
