you do know that FEDORA 5 has had NO security updates in a VERY long time
you would be advised to install CentOS 5.3 on the server
for a fedora 5 "upgrade"
first HOW did you upgrade ??
are there still fedora 4 rpm's on it ( upgrade in 4 and 5 was VERY bad and almost NEVER worked )
having about 6 is fine and normal
or did you do a fresh install of the EOL fedora 5

To get an idea of how out of date FC5 is, Fedora 11 will be released later this month.

yeah, i know how old is this. this server have been a long time without maintenance, and i was having some problems with deprecated packages, so i decided to do upgrade by upgrade, until the last fedora. but the whole process with this upgrade was very traumatic.
i managed to get ldap up and running again (i'd more lucky than competence in this), and i'm no willing to stop this machine once again, since it's a production machine, intead, i'm installing a debian lenny in other machine, and when its ready i'll replace this fedora with debian.
anyway, tks for your time guys.

PS. upgrade almost NEVER works correctly
Even more so seeing it was still VERY experimental in fedora 4,5,6,7
a fresh install was ( and still is ) the recommended method .
