Thanks, Michael! The four "locale" packages were missing, as was the "ui"
package--which explains much! I reinstalled those, did the restarts that you
and Chris suggested, and FTP is now right with the world...

Where would I find a list of all of the packages that should be installed for
BX? Doing a "yum list installed" showed quite a few packages with "el5" at the
end, and I wonder how many of those should actually be "centos"...

Thanks again, Michael and Chris!
