I had trouble with RPM and GPG signature checking.  I had to add:

do_chroot("rpm --import http://fedora.redhat.com/about/security/4F2A6FD2.txt";)

before the yum command to work around it.

Does this work for you?  When I run the script, python throws an exception 
saying that it can't import gtk.glade.  As near as I can tell, Glade isn't being 
used in the script.

I'd like to know the answer to this one too.  My guess is that it should point 
to my LDAP server, but I'm not sure.
