Re: LDAP configuration problem

Magnus,

You are absolutely correct. Sorry that I didn't see the last line since
GMAIL hid it for me.

The rpms for Fedora 6 from www.postgresql.com don't seem to have the LDAP
support built-in, it shows that

invalid entry in file "/pub/pgsql/data/pg_hba.conf" at line 79, token "ldap"

But after download the source, recompile with "--with-ldap", it worked
perfectly. I wonder if this could be built in the rpm as the default in the
future.

Thanks and happy new year.

Wenjian
