RE: configure OpenLDAP to allow directory users - change pass

["Anne Moore" <diabeticithink@yahoo.com>]

Hi Tony

It's not the VERSION of Openldap causing the problem, it's how it's
configured. That's why I'm here asking how to configure it to do this.

You wrote, "The answer is "yes, I do that".

Except you did not write how you do that. If you share it with others, you
will feel much better. ;)

The answer is "yes, I do that".

As Gavin implies, you shouldn't be using this version; it won't allow you to
do what you want, it's full of bugs anyway and your security department will
go on not liking it.

For where to get up to date rpms for whatever Red Hat version you're using
(probably RHAS/RHEL4), go to http://staff.telkomsa.net/packages/
