RHEL 4 comes with a patched up 2.2.13 and it has worked well enough for
me where I've used it so far. On RHEL 3 systems, I definitely have
manually installed the latest 2.2.x version of ldap from source. It's
not that it's so much work, it's sometimes just not worth it for a small
place / light duty.

You are really tough on Red Hat - perhaps somewhat deserved, perhaps
not.
