The following changes are proposed for IB management (master branch of
my management git tree):

In order to better match package names, the following directory names to
be changed from->to:
	osm->opensm
	diags->openib-diags

Since opensm is a system daemon, opensm to be moved from /usr/bin to /usr/sbin

For consistency with the package name, /var/cache/osm moved to
/var/cache/opensm

Also, for consistency with the package name, all config, log, and dump files named osm* 
to be changed to opensm*

To avoid confusion and possible conflicts in configuring daemon options,
only have 1 configuration file (existence of both /etc/sysconfig/opensm 
and /etc/opensm.conf is problematic).  Remove the /etc/sysconfig/opensm 
file and only use opensm.conf.  Move opensm.conf to /etc/rdma (as 
discussed in the thread labeled "Location and naming of RDMA enablement 
stack rpm" on general at lists.openfabrics.org.

Any comments ?
