I removed the distro specific dependencies from the SRPM and added them
to the install.pl for OFED.  I will submit the relevant patch to
install.pl shortly.

You can get the SRPM of rnfs-utils without the nfs-utils dependency at:
http://www.openfabrics.org/~swise/ofed_1_4/rnfs-utils/

Thanks for the testing and let me know if you hit anymore problems.

Thanks,
Jon
