This stinks of the 'MS update breaks password changing' issue that was 
fixed somewhere in the versions you are testing, that is it was broken 
in 3.0.2 and fixed in either .3 or .4. 

Since you know a newer version works, why not just go with it?  Given 
the bug fixes and such there is really no good reason to hang on to .2.  
I believe there are instructions for building a rpm from the source 
distribution if you are trying to keep your rpm based system sane 
(always a good idea).
