Probably, but it doesn't like it when I ssh in and start a 
daemon, and then try to log out.  It doesn't drop the
session.  It's a known bug, there's fixes for it in the
current snapshots, I believe. I'm wondering if there's a 
formal release planned anytime soon, or if I should 
make up my own rpm for the current one. Which I'd
rather not do, linux not really being my platform of
most expertise, but rather one that I'm having to
support, rather than wanting to :)
