[seqfan] Generalized Erdos-Straus conjecture

A192787 tells how many ways there are to partition 4/n into three positive
integer reciprocals. The famous Erdos-Straus conjecture states that for
n>1, this is always nonzero.

Is there a similar sequence for partitioning 5/n into three reciprocals? If
I counted right, the answer is no, because I am getting 0, 0, 2, 4, 3, 4,
4, and OEIS has only one match, and it has a -2 in it. But I could have
counted wrong.
