I (and other Red Hat admins in the know) run Buchan Milne's alternative
which comprise discrete, patched db-4.2.52 and can exist beside the
RHEL5 offering. This is an utterly stable and dependable product; it is
available at http://staff.telkomsa.net/packages/rhel5Server/openldap/.
Will I have to remove my current db4* rpms to install these ?
As Aaron wrote, no. If you do install Buchan's rpms it's important to
know that he separates it from Red Hat's by tacking '2.3' on to the end
of everything, including the man pages. So slapd is called slapd2.3,
ldapsearch is called ldapsearch2.3, /usr/bin/slapd_db_recover2.3, etc.
Even the libraries (which are in the normal place) have different
sonames, e.g. /usr/lib/libldap_r-2.3.so.0, /usr/lib/liblber-2.3.so.0
etc. Anything you later build using OL libraries will find these during
the build, or it will find the Red Hat libraries if you still have them.
