I manage a set of packages under the name pWare for AIX 5.3 and 6.1. I am upgrading the core OpenLDAP from 2.3.38 to 2.4.11 and wanted to do something IBM does with libc. They link libc.a -> libc_r.a Is it safe to do the same in OpenLDAP such that: libldap.so -> libldap_r.so ? Then I rebuild any packages that depended on 2.3 for 2.4. Cheers, Bill
