Re: md5 crypt hashed passwords on linux openldap server

Hi Branko,

This appears to me to be the same issue that I (and quite a few others) 
have run across before. The fix was to change the order of things in the 
XXLIBS part of the Makefile. On openldap 2.0.xx the way to make this 
work is:

         XXLIBS = $(LDBM_LIBS) $(SLAPD_LIBS) \
                $(LUTIL_LIBS) \
                $(SECURITY_LIBS) \
                $(LDIF_LIBS)



I haven't yet used openldap2.1 though so I can't guarantee it'll work.

good luck,
~c
