FWIW, I just tried building 1.0.1-3.9 on my RaQ 4. It built ok, but 
failed during the upgrade attempt due to no "/sbin/nologin"... which is 
apparently provided by util-linus... which is a Cobaltized RPM on the 
RaQ 4...

In looking at the .spec file, nologin is required when creating the NFS 
user... I guess the .spec file could be edited and change the new user 
shell from "-s /sbin/nologin" to "-s /sbin/badsh" (lines 89 and 94 in 
the .spec file). And then update the 'prereq' list to remove /sbin/nologin.

I could do it, but then it's no longer a "plain" RPM and some people 
have issues with getting RPMs from "unknown" sources.  So if you want, 
you can build your own RPM - juse make the changes I listed first.
