To ensure there are not conflicts etc., my packages ship everything with a major version suffix if the distribution shipped a different major version of OpenLDAP. Thus, the ldap library from the libldap2.3_0 package uses /etc/openldap2.3/ldap.conf, however the original ldap library provided by RHEL (in the openldap-2.2.13 package) is still the 2.2.13 version, and still uses /etc/openldap/ldap.conf.
This seems to have changed for RHEL 5
Your packages at http://staff.telkomsa.net/packages/rhel5/openldap/x86_64/ seem to replace the RH supplied ones.
Note the phrase "if the distribution shipped a different major version of OpenLDAP". Since RHEL5 ships with 2.3, suffixing won't help (as the library name must be the same).
However, now that the 2.4.7 packages are available, yo will notice the policy is still consistent.
