I'm running Postfix 2.3.8 in a Debian GNU/Linux 4.0 (Etch) box. I want it to support LDAP but I don't know what would happen if I install the postfix-ldap package via apt-get because of this:
# apt-get install --just-print postfix-ldap Reading package lists... Done Building dependency tree Reading state information... Done The following extra packages will be installed: libpcre3 postfix postfix-pcre It says it would also install the postfix package, I don't know if it would affect my already working configuration or not. My other option is to reinstall it from source using: # make makefiles CCARGS="-I/usr/local/include -DHAS_LDAP" \ AUXLIBS="-L/usr/local/lib -lldap -L/usr/local/lib -llber" # make # make install But I don't know if this would have also bad effects on my existing postfix installation. What would be the proper way to do this?
