I want the directory server, but in the faqs say that redhat was no free the src of the directory server, and i dont know why? if they use GPL software, i think they "must" free the src of that server. I found an rpm at fedora project that say thats the directory server, but obviusly it is not stable because of is not a redhat enterprise soft, but anyway i had installed on my centos 4.2 , but its have a lot of errors and not working. Anybody have a directory server running on centos ?? can help me to do it?

---- There are still some issues with building Fedora Directory server from source. Red Hat has committed the project to open source and has released it with a GPL license but getting it to build is obviously a problem. If you are running CentOS, there is no reason why you can't install the binaries that are already built...you can download the binaries here...

I haven't had any issues with using Fedora Directory server and there is a mail list that supports Fedora Directory server here...

You should know that CentOS comes with (a fairly outdated) version of OpenLDAP which can be installed simply with the command...

# yum install openldap-server

Administration Guide for above is here http://www.openldap.org/doc/admin22/

If you want to install current OpenLDAP, you will have to install from source - see this...
