OK.  Something that needs doing really really badly is cleaning up
this whole [EMAIL PROTECTED] SASL mess.  This should be a priority at MandrakeSoft
(well, beyond staying in business that is :-).  Let's say it should be
a priority in the Mandrake development shop.

We need to eliminate the use of SASL v1 in Mandrake Linux.  It's old,
deprecated and just plain obsolete.  Keeping it around causes real
world operational issues because of incompatibilities with application
chains that end up using both libraries (i.e. Cyrus IMAP with LDAP
authentication).

The first step in doing this is upgrading OpenLDAP to 2.1 as per:

http://www.openldap.org/faq/data/cache/544.html

Is there any reason why we are not using the 2.1.6 "Stable" version as
opposed to the 2.0.27 "Historic"
(http://www.openldap.org/software/download/) version?
