I've been using LDAP maps and LDAP routing with sendmail for quite some time now. The version of sendmail I'm using is the RPM release for Fedora Core 3, sendmail-8.13.1-2.

The LDAP-specific portions of my sendmail.mc file are:
RELAY_DOMAIN_FILE(`@LDAP')dnl
LDAPROUTE_DOMAIN_FILE(`@LDAP')dnl
FEATURE(`access_db', LDAP)dnl
FEATURE(`ldap_routing')dnl

When trying to recompile (need to start using -D_FFR_DEAL_WITH_ERROR_SSL) myself, I find either the original source release 8.13.1, or the current release 8.13.5 do not work properly. When running sendmail -d0.1 -bv root, I get:
/etc/mail/sendmail.cf: line 154: ldap_init/ldap_bind failed to localhost in map R: Unknown error 325
/etc/mail/sendmail.cf: line 154: fileclass: F{R}: map open failed
/etc/mail/sendmail.cf: line 155: ldap_init/ldap_bind failed to localhost in map LDAPRoute: Unknown error 325
/etc/mail/sendmail.cf: line 155: fileclass: F{LDAPRoute}: map open failed

The sendmail file built from the source package and from the RPM report the same Compiled with: data, and even leaving -D_FFR_DEAL_WITH_ERROR_SSL out and trying to build with the site.config.m4 the same way as the SRPM says it should be still results in the above errors.

The only thing I can see different is the ldd data; The source compiled version I'm trying to get working has a ldd to libresolv.so.2 => /lib/libresolv.so.2 (0x00258000), while the RPM version of the sendmail binary has no link to this library. I've set up the site.config.m4 file just as the recipie in the SPECS/sendmail.spec file says it should be, but the binrary I bake up doesn't come out the same.

I could care less if it's linked against libresolv.so.2, but I need the LDAP stuff to work properly.

Help!!
