The only one you can install along side is the 2.4 branch. In fact, if you look at the files in the referenced url: http://staff.telkomsa.net/packages/rhel5Server/openldap/i386/ you will see that only the 2.4 branch has anything tacked on, the 2.3 branch is named the same as RH's packages and will replace them--but so far it works great, and the upgrade was flawless (you have to rebuild the DB since it is using an older [better] version of bdb), and yes the package RH ships is an embarrassment. -Ryan ---- Ryan Horrisberger rhorrisb@ssc.wisc.edu
