I don't think it would be a problem updating to 1.0.0. I haven't looked at
the ldap support in detail.
You may need to install another package that I've built that adds some rpm
macros that came from Caldera's version of RPM, and that I tended to use a
lot. It also tweaks the %{l_prefix}/etc/openpkg/rpmrc file prepending
%{l_prefix}/etc/rpm/macros to macrofiles allowing local overrides to macros
if necessary.

OpenPKG bind in chroot ?
I used to install bind in chroot mode running with a bind exclusive user. 1st) Is OpenPKG ver of bind chroot enabled (-t chrootdir) ? 2nd) opkg_bind uses opkg[-r] user. Does I gain more security using an distinct user and chrooting opkg_bind ? 3rd) What does option with_dlz enables ?

Re: Perl
I don´t understand your point (or expirience). For me, perl is just a interpretated programing languagues that is developed independent of RH, Suse,Conectiva... I whant to run ISPman, that use LDAP to hold ISP data and perl to mantain that information. This project doesn´t presume that perl comes from distr A, B or C (and I think that noone should do a propram in any language presuming that the interpreter/compiler has been bundled by A, B or C). I thought that being able to use the most up to date version of perl should avoid bug or security problems corrected in newer versions (while correct scripts should further run as the language syntax and standarts should not change). If I understand right you worries that some tasks of RH7.3 depends specificaly on his perl distribution and changing /usr/bin/perl could render to problems. Eaven I could not think where this can happen (I thought also I could upgrade perl from the developers site independent if RH upgrades), presuming this problems can happen with som script from RH, could I at least make the scripts from ISPman use OpenPKG perl ? If this sounds resonable could you point me out how to change the execution of the main ISPman script (that invokes all other) to corretly prepare the environment for OpenPKG ?

If my thinking is correct, I would like to use OpenPKG version of perl and not the RH73 one. That's probably a Bad Idea(tm) as RH 7.3 may well have things that depend on their particular version of perl and its associated modules. One of the major advantages of OpenPKG is that the OpenPKG instance(s) are independent of the vendor's underlying packaging system and other installed software. I have systems running OpenPKG Release 2.0 under Caldera eDesktop 2.4 which is about the same vintage as RH 7.3 with good results. Leave the RH stuff alone, and use OpenPKG for everthing else. Typically I set systems up so that root logins don't have the OpenPKG environment set by default to avoid problems with the vendor's maintenance scripts and updates. I have to manually execute a command that invokes the OpenPKG eval when logged in as root. This is less of a problem since OpenPKG Release 2.0 removed ``rpm'' from the PATH, but there are still potential problems if one has the OpenPKG executables in the PATH before the default system directories.
