Ah! Okay, that helps! Sorry for being dense.
BUT, now I download the epel-389-ds-base.repo into the yum.repos.d and I get:
[root@localhost SRPMS]# cat /etc/redhat-release
Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server release 5.8 (Tikanga)
[root@localhost SRPMS]# yum install 389-ds
Loaded plugins: katello, product-id, rhnplugin, security, subscription-manager
Updating certificate-based repositories.

[Errno -3] Error performing checksum
Trying other mirror.
Error: failure: repodata/primary.xml.gz from epel-389-ds-base: [Errno 256] No
more mirrors to try.
And yes, I have tried the various cache invalidation techniques to no avail.
Searching for solutions yields little useful info.
