Hi,
I'm about to embark on an installation of 9.3.
In some articles I've been looking at (about core components like postfix, for example) there is an implication that if I want to use this with another product, say, OpenLDAP, then I must re-compile from the source with certain options set.
If I were to use YaST to install postfix and OpenLDAP, apart from tweaking the configuration files, are they already configured to work together?
(I'm looking to set postfix, fetchmail, dovecot, squirrelmail, PHP, MySQL, Apache, HylaFAX, OpenLDAP, OpenSWAN, Samba and CUPS and would prefer to use them 'out of the box' rather than having to rebuild!) John - a relative newbie but somewhat confused ;-)
You are worrying way too much. You can certainly use all those out of the box. Have you been building Linux From Scratch or something, that you worry so much about compile options? The integration stuff is ready made by the fine SUSE engineers, so you don't have to. :-)
