You may rather wonder why RH/Fedora packages are consistently problematic ... Upgrade to 2.3.x, I don't have packages for FC4 like I do for RHEL4, but you may consider trying to rebuild them, which will give you a painless parallel installation with the 2.2.x shipped in the distro (or, convince me to install an FC4 build chroot). http://anorien.warwick.ac.uk/mirrors/buchan/rhel4/openldap/ Regards, Buchan -- Buchan Milne ISP Systems Specialist B.Eng,RHCE(803004789010797),LPIC-2(LPI000074592)
