Getting sendmail to compile against libldap on Red Hat systems is
semi-tough because the RH OpenLDAP libraries use the SASL and Kerberos
libraries for authentication. So ... run ldd against your sendmail
binary to make sure you picked up the requisite libs: libldap,
liblber, libsasl, libhesiod, libgssapi_krb5, libkrb5, libcom_err, and
libk5crypto. Here's an easy method:

  ldd /path/to/sendmail | awk '{print $1}' | sort
