Well, I don't use the OFED scripts anyway.  They aren't LSB compliant in
so many ways it's not worth discussing.  Plus they do things that that
should not be done in a production environment, or things that should be
handled via other scripts.  So, it's of little importance to me.
However, if you guys have moved the opensm stuff to /etc/opensm just to
have a single opensm.conf file in there, then I have to wonder why
bother with an /etc/opensm directory?  Are there other files in there by
default now?  You don't save any /etc/ directory namespace pollution if
you create a subdirectory for a single file. Oh well, that doesn't
matter too much to me either.  All the packages I maintain use /etc/ofed
for rhel4 and rhel5, and will use /etc/rdma for fedora and rhel6 and
later.
