The latter. I chose not to install the 2.0.27 server rpms, did install
the client rpms because of library dependencies. I mved /usr/lib/sasl2
to sasl2.orig, installed all the Openldap 2.2.14 and supporting stuff
(including Openssl) to /usr/local and linked /usr/local/bib/sasl2 to
Usr/lib/sasl2. By keeping as much custom stuff in /usr/local the hassle
with up2date and its DB is minimized. Openldap 2.0.27 clients have to be
renamed, also the Berkeley DB and Openssl utilities, to avoid
incompatibilities. I'm getting used to all of this kind of thing now ;)
But as a base OS, RHAS3 is a really good choice, especially on the IBM
hardware.
