There is an openldap in the CentOS Testing repo for centos-4 that will work with centos-5. It has a compat-openldap-<c4_version> for the things that are compiled against the c4 version ... and i am using it in production and syncing c5 and c4. However, it is a couple updates behind. The version is openldap-2.3.27-4.el4.centos Thanks, Johnny Hughes -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...
