Hi Jon,

after installing the tcpd-devel (for libwrap) and krb5 packages I was able to
build an RPM from the SRPM you attached. This RPM has a dependency on nfs-utils,
which does not exist on SLES11... Seems like they have split the package up?!

Could you take care of this so that we get a clean install on SLES11?

Thanks,
Alex
