No. In fact, it makes it worse. The resulting file is the wrong size,
12309 bytes vs 16384. The AuthDBM module (after renaming the file to put
the extension on) claims it can't open the file.
Apache was compiled "out of the box" with the configure/make process. Some
options are provided to config, but none refer to dbm or db support. Mostly
directories and suexec.
To look at my /usr/lib/ directory, there are essentially 2 choices with 3
names. libdb.a came with glibc-devel-2.0.7-13 and is libdb.so.2.
libndbm.so points to libdb.so and libgdbm came from gdbm-1.7.3-17 and is
libgdbm.so.2.0.0.
It seems the problem is primarily the extension. mod_auth_dbm uses the
dbmopen and expects the .db, but whatever perl is using doesn't supply it by
default.
