Quoting "Anthony" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>:

Sorry, I'm not trying to be elitist on purpose and for the sole purpose
on beeing elitist, but i SERIOSLY believe that this (Qmail+LDAP) is not
for the 'beginner' (choose any meaning on that you like). You WILL need
some programming knowledge on this, and using 'external patches' to ANY
software (on a UNIX like OS that is - patches in the Windows world isn't
called 'patches', they are called 'service packs' :) requires you to know
a little on how they are built up...
So please, save yourself (not only you personaly Anthony) some trouble,
read the manpages on 'diff' and on 'patch'. Then take the time to look
in a patch - reviewing what happened to the file both BEFORE and AFTER
the patch is applied...
Example one:
diff -urwN build-tree.old/qmail-1.03/FILES build-tree/qmail-1.03/FILES
--- build-tree.old/qmail-1.03/FILES Tue Nov 26 16:35:10 2002

byte_repl.c
rbl.c

This part say: add the line 'rbl.h' AFTER the line that reads 'rbl.c' which
is after the line that reads 'qmail-todo.c'. Oh, and the file to apply this
to is called 'FILES' (exact path: 'build-tree/qmail-1.03/FILES', the OLD
file is (was) called 'build-tree.old/qmail-1.03/FILES').

Have 'nothing' to do with the patch, it's just there to give reference
to WHERE to add the patch (even though it 'starts' with a '-', this
character isn't the FIRST character, but the second).
It's the very first (!) character you have to look out for, that's what
tells you what to do (remove => '-', add => '+').
I know that I'll still gett naggings about rejects, people don't read
documentation, but at least I can say to my self 'I already answered
that question - go look in the archives).
I'll TRY (!) to take care and double check for rejects, but I've tried
that in the past, and people STILL (!) get rejects - the add other
patches between the Qmail-LDAP patch and my Qmail-LDAP/Controls, so my
patch is STILL at fault (which it really isn't).
