Oh - ok - well I needed more features out of openldap - regex was a big
one. RHEL 3 is 2.0.27 and regex expressions/acl's were simply not
possible.
so I compiled 2.2.23 (now up to 2.2.24 but I haven't updated yet), and
to do that, required the other stuff (plus I forgot to mention sleepycat
4.2.52 (plus a couple of patches as well). Thus in order to compile
openldap from source, I had to download source and compile
(in /usr/local), Heimdal-kerberos, openssl, cyrus-sasl, db4-2.52 and of
course, openldap. It sounds harder than it was to do, I left the db4,
cyrus-sasl, openssl and openldap installations from RHEL in place
(removing them would break things far beyond my comprehension) and it
works great. Of note is that nahant provides an adequate version of
most of these - but not Heimdal kerberos and there are some autocreate
features not included in FC3/RHEL4 version of cyrus-imapd that I really
depend on.
Then saslauthd as shipped in RHEL 3 can set MECH to shadow or pam but
not LDAP, whereas RHEL 4 has ldap integrated. There's a moving target
thing going on.
