Complete!

There is an error with the rpm for -server.. Is there anyway to give out the src.rpm for this?

Thanks

I was able to fix it saving the cache in yum and rpm -ivh -vv the rpm

It is trying to run

/usr/sbin/useradd -M -r -U -d /var/lib/mongo -s /bin/false -c mongod mongod

-U flag is invalid in Redhat.

But the spec file isn't written well due to if I add the user outside the rpm.. it still tries to add the user.

+ /usr/sbin/useradd -M -r -U -d /var/lib/mongo -s /bin/false -c mongod mongod

Thanks for reporting this. (This was fixed in 1.5.x a couple months ago,
but the fix seems not to have been backported to 1.4. Will do that now.)
