Hi Duncan,

I suggest OpenLDAP 2.2.  OpenLDAP 2.1 is reaching end of life, and soon any 
answers around 2.1 are likely to be "upgrade to 2.2". ;)

It has a lot of improvements over 2.1, but there are things you will likely 
have to tweak (ACL files, etc) to get everything matching corrected 
syntaxes.

As for the SASL bit, I've relocated where BDB appears on the software list. 
;)
