Do I ? Don't know. I don't know which version(s) of MySQL and its client libraries you're using, nor which version of postfix. If it's working, it's a good sign. But there may be other breakage yet to appear. If all you've got that's not the FC4 version now are (a) MySQL, and (b) the mysqlclient14 package from rawhide, then you're probably OK. Paul.
