The FreeBSD LDAP port is unusably broken. Instead, you should use: http://www.freebsd.org/~terry/DIFF.LDAP.txt http://www.freebsd.org/~terry/DIFF.LDAP.gz They require that you are running -current or -stable with the recent pthreads changes by Jeremy Allison and myself (checked in by Julian Elisher in both trees). If using -stable, this means -stable *after* the last release (ie: the fixes are not yet on a CDROM). You must apply these patches to the code from the University of Michigan code, which should be unmodified (ie: do *not* use the FreeBSD port). If you want SSL support, you must seperately apply the SSL patch from www.critical-angle.com; all the other patches from there are included in my patch (basically, they were like 386BSD patches: conflicts, no organization, no dependency ordering, etc.). > I was planning to use slapd with imapd and ipopd as mail server for > netscape, eudora, and outlook express clients.

The Macintosh clients tend to fail because they incorrectly set their base location. This is a well known problem with almost all Macintosh LDAP clients. The only real fix is to install a PC. ;^). (There... that ought to tweak the weenies into fixing their clients to conform to standards). Someone with commit privs needs to compile this code and make it a package...
