Guenter,
I got the following errors when installing
error: cannot get shared lock on /var/lib/rpm/Packages
error: cannot open Packages index using db3 - Operation not permitted (1)
It still created the database and reloaded httpd.
Will it still work?

Yes it will work,
I use SME 6.0.1 custom for testing and development. Maybe ther are some fixes about RPM Managing implemented.

This does rate as one of the most spectacularly useful error messages in
RedHat...
There are two possible reasons for the error message
1) You aren't logged in as root (or someone with write access to the
redhat database)
or, more likely
2) There's another program using the database. As long as gnorpm is
running, the RPM database will be locked. If you don't think anything
should be running with RPM open, use lsof to check if anything has
/var/lib/rpm/Packages open.
Unfortunately, there is no other way around it (AFAIK). You will get
similar problems trying to run rpm manually while doing a Ximian update,
or if you run two Ximian updates simultaneously. The RPM database seems
to be VERY non-atomic.

i'm sorry i am a idiot (well that is what my wife tells me), I can,t find the docs on how to actually set up the clients to use bookmark? Do I have to configure the server anyway other than install it?

Hi, you're not an idiot. Your wife is wrong!
I haven't wrote a howto. I forgot it.
Well, here comes the howto.
Download the Windows Client (it's the only client avialable yet).
1) http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=91038
(In Version 0.1.1 the Client is published with a readonly samba share)
2) Create a Folder and move the Syncitclient whithin.
3) Create a in your Startupfolder)
4) Run http://<smeserver>/bookmarksync
5) Register a new User (Authcode is: ilovesyncit)
6) Execute the Registry File!!!!
7) Execute the Syncitclient.
Hope that helps.
