Description of problem:


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): postfix-1.1.7-2


How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
Postfix included with 7.3 lacks LDAP support, even though OpenLDAP libraries
have become a core component:

# ldd /usr/libexec/postfix/smtpd
        libssl.so.2 => /lib/libssl.so.2 (0x40017000)
        libcrypto.so.2 => /lib/libcrypto.so.2 (0x40045000)
        libdb-3.3.so => /lib/libdb-3.3.so (0x40108000)
        libnsl.so.1 => /lib/libnsl.so.1 (0x40197000)
        libresolv.so.2 => /lib/libresolv.so.2 (0x401ac000)
        libgdbm.so.2 => /usr/lib/libgdbm.so.2 (0x401bd000)
        libc.so.6 => /lib/i686/libc.so.6 (0x42000000)
        libdl.so.2 => /lib/libdl.so.2 (0x401c4000)
        /lib/ld-linux.so.2 => /lib/ld-linux.so.2 (0x40000000)

According to Bugzilla, there were requests as far back as 6.2/7.0 to include
LDAP support by default in the Postfix RPMS and the reason then to not do so was
because that would add an additional dependency that most users would have to
install packages for.

These days I don't think I could install even a stripped down Red Hat Linux
system without LDAP.  However, even in rawhide the Postfix LDAP support is not
built by default.  Is there a reason it can't/shouldn't be enabled by default
for 8.0?

*** Bug 71352 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***

Comment 3 Chris Ricker 2002-12-19 07:10:11 UTC
Still true w/ 8.0

Comment 4 Chris Ricker 2003-05-20 05:09:39 UTC
I'm closing this, since the rawhide builds now have LDAP enabled....
