OMSA 5.4 dsm_sa_ipmi service not set to auto-start after install

I've been seeing this since I started working with OMSA at v5.1. I
just finished installing OMSA 5.4 on some brand new CentOS 4.6 x86_64
boxes. OMSA was installed via the yum repository. After installation,
the dsm_sa_ipmi service is not configured to start up. chkconfig
--list shows 'off' for all run levels. I have to issue a 'chckconfig
dsm_sa_ipmi on' to enable automatic startup. If it's not started other
pieces of OMSA don't work so well. Not only does this happen for new
installs, but upgrades have also turned off dsm_sa_ipmi.

I'm posting in the hope that someone at Dell can get this relatively
minor issue resolved. It's not hard to deal with as long as you know
what to look for. But if you don't know it's there, you can really be
scratching  your head on why the OMSA web interface won't work.

I have only installed OMSA in CentOS 4 x86_64, so this problem may be
limited in scope.

For future reference, are there more appropriate channels for bug
reports on this 'unsupported' repository?

Thanks,
