Evening,

I don't know what the problem with dbd might be, but-

btw I've tried to compile and install OpenLDAP 2.4.20 with your

further [more info needed?]

Yes, it is. We've used it couple months back until we've switched to
{SSHA} :)
I must note, because I'm sure otherwise anybody else will do it, that
CRYPT is weak and shouldn't be used. But I'm sure you know this.
