[Pacemaker] Can't issue 'crm configure' commands under privileged user

[Colin McCormack]

Hi again,

"OK. This seems to be a deficiency in lrmd which got fixed later. But
there was a workaround in crm shell for almost two years (iirc since
pacemaker v1.1.5)."

What was this workaround - sorry for such low-level questions - but
googling for this isn't very useful - they're all re-posts from this
mailing i think

"I meant the Pacemaker ACLs. But those are available starting with
Pacemaker v1.1.6."

I'm bound to CentOS 5.x - i did a yum install pacemaker corosync to get
pacemaker - and the version the EPEL installed for me is 1.0.12 - can i
get the latest version? yum update of course had no tagged updates.
Cheers and thanks again

Col
