Icecast RPM question

All,

    I do not know who the maintainer of the icecast RPM for Fedora is, 
but I found some things that have been very odd since I installed Fedora 
9. The solution to this is rather simple though, but here is the problem:

I install icecast off of yum:
yum install icecast

Everything installs, and everything looks good... until I load icecast. 
Then the strangest thing happens, it just doesn't bind to the proper ports:

tcp        0      0 127.0.0.1:50347             
0.0.0.0:*                   LISTEN      14950/icecast
tcp        0      0 0.0.0.0:47123               
0.0.0.0:*                   LISTEN      14950/icecast
tcp        0      0 0.0.0.0:37591               
0.0.0.0:*                   LISTEN      14950/icecast
tcp        0      0 192.168.10.9:38523          
0.0.0.0:*                   LISTEN      14950/icecast


now mind you, the only binding on the system for icecast is:
    <listen-socket>
        <port>8000</port>
        <bind-address>192.168.10.9</bind-address>
    </listen-socket>
    <listen-socket>
        <port>8000</port>
        <bind-address>127.0.0.1</bind-address>
    </listen-socket>


on my working system(the xml was copied strait between the 'dead' system 
and the working one, with just an IP address change, from the .2 to the 
.9 address) The .2 is the main server, and as a test example, off the .9 
box, I installed icecast, which is version 2.3.1. I saw the same 
problems when I installed icecast from rpm on the .2 box. this working 
version is 2.3.2 built from source:

tcp        0      0 192.168.10.2:8000           
0.0.0.0:*                   LISTEN      4609/icecast
tcp        0      0 127.0.0.1:8000              
0.0.0.0:*                   LISTEN      4609/icecast
tcp        0      0 0.0.0.0:8015                
0.0.0.0:*                   LISTEN      4609/icecast
tcp        0      0 0.0.0.0:8016                
0.0.0.0:*                   LISTEN      4609/icecast
tcp        0      0 192.168.10.2:8000

I had tagged the problem on the icecast mailing list, and after doing a 
custom compile got this working when I installed Fedora on this new box. 
The thread can be found at: 
http://www.archivum.info/icecast@xiph.org/2008-07/msg00008.html


Now, The hardware/Arch info for the two servers

192.168.10.2
86_64
4GB memory

192.168.10.9
i586
2GB memory


 From the yum install dialogue:

========================================================================================================================================
 Package                         Arch                         
Version                              Repository                      Size
========================================================================================================================================
Installing:
 icecast                         i386                         
2.3.1-5.fc9                          fedora                         317 k

Transaction Summary
========================================================================================================================================


So it is the right arch as well.


Building this from source for the 2.3.2 build worked fine.

Seann
