Hello Anax,

I did the installation from openldap rpm files.
And yes - if there is no other option then i have to go to re-compiling the
entire system with SASL enabled packages.

But my Q's is:
Q> First i need to install the cyrus-sasl package and then i need to
install the open-ldap with sasl option??
Plz confirm if my understanding is correct?


Thanks and Regards,
Gaurav Gugnani
