Now I am as confused as you Tush. I've always used the 'stable' versions, however, it appears what is in the book is the 'release' versions (which in this case right now is 2.2.27). Not sure what to do as I'd like to update the book as I'm testing LDAP right now. If I don't hear from anyone, I'll just go with what the book shows as the current downloads (updated, of course). This would be the 2.2.27 version. Perhaps in versions past the 'stable' version and the 'release' versions were the same. I'm thinking this was the case. Biggest tip to me is that in the 'stable' download directories, there are no release versions just dated versions. CC'ing Bruce and Tush privately in hopes for a quick response. -- Randy rmlscsi: [GNU ld version 2.15.94.0.2 20041220] [gcc (GCC) 3.4.3] [GNU C Library stable release version 2.3.4] [Linux 2.6.10 i686] 15:40:00 up 132 days, 15:13, 3 users, load average: 0.15, 0.06, 0.22 -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/blfs-dev FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
