I believe this general statement to be incorrect. That combination certainly seems to work fine here, in a multi-server multi-domain international directory and email deployment. OpenLDAP 2.0.27 and cyrus-sasl-2.1.7 or -2.1.10 or -2.1.12 have all worked (currently on Red Hat 7.3, on x86 SMP hardware). Please could you provide specific details on how and why this "does not work"? Thanks. Recommending that sysadmins 'throw away' the mainstream and well understood way of doing something, in favour of the 'latest and greatest', is not always appropriate. Working with bleeding edge software, perhaps not available in the packaging format your chosen OS distribution uses, is likely to be inconvenient at best, and lead to increased maintenance costs over time. Red Hat 8.0 ships with OpenLDAP 2.0.27 too, so using that distribution it may still be appropriate to stay with that version of OpenLDAP. Even the current Red Hat 8.1 beta release, Phoebe, sticks with OpenLDAP 2.0.27. It might also have been helpful to state that you are an OpenLDAP developer, and so are naturally interested in getting people to migrate to the current release of your software :-) Jonathan -- Jonathan Marsden | Internet: [EMAIL PROTECTED] | Making electronic 1252 Judson Street | Phone: +1 (909) 795-3877 | communications work Redlands, CA 92374 | Fax: +1 (909) 795-0327 | reliably for Christian USA | http://www.xc.org/jonathan | missions worldwide
