Sounds like something changed after RH9 to allow this.

Personally, if it were me, I'd install yum, point the yum.conf at your
nearest FC2 mirror and do a 'yum upgrade' ;)
But, you're not me, and you probably don't want to possibly break
things, so looks like you'll have to look at saslauthd, like others in

account information in LDAP which makes writing the authenticators a
little easier.
