While testing out CentOS 5 last month, I was successful in getting a  
two node cluster up and running. I turned off SELinux and made sure  
that iptables was off. Also, I had to start the services immediately  
at the same time (clusterssh really helps here). But it did work. I  
reverted back to RHEL4 because of licensing issues (RHEL 5 is  
different that RHEL4 and clustering wasn't available) and system- 
config-cluster was broken.
