I just installed the Rawhide package on my CentOS 5 system. The one item that bit me is that the config file defaults to using interface "[::]" so it only listens on IPv6. (This is from a patch in the package that changes the upstream default of "*", so it only affects those using the Fedora package.)
For those wanting to track the issue, here's the Bugzilla:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=453054
I rebuilt the package from the source RPM, to make sure it was "tuned" to the C5 distro.
I got the source RPM here, from the Portland State mirror:
