OK, putting my money where my mouth is, I undertook to build a new LDAP server this weekend (built it in a UML in fact :-). I used OpenLDAP 2.1.16 (current stable), nss_ldap 204 and pam_ldap 161. I am so far, libsasl.so.7 free. There are many packages which claim to depend on libsasl.so.7, but most of them are just needing it because libldap.so* needs it. Once we start using OpenLDAP 2.1 and building that with SASL v2, everything else that needs LDAP will not need libsasl.so7 any more. In fact, I am successful in authenticating my Cyrus IMAP users against my LDAP server. Hopefully I can start working on an openldap-2.1.16 RPM very soon (and getting my main/real LDAP server upgraded to it), but my LDAP experience is limited and the OpenLDAP maintainer will probably have much more luck that I would. One issue, OpenLDAP needs version 4.1 of the Sleepcat DB lib. That will need upgrading first. But that should be getting done soon anyway. Thots? b. -- Brian J. Murrell
