dovecot - Oct 2005 - Red Hat ES 4 - dovecot-auth: Unknown password scheme SMD5

I have a couple of questions regarding the default dovecot packaged with 
RedHat ES 4. The dovecot version is 0.99.11-2.EL4.1 which I assume is 
considerably behind the current stable version of 0.99.14. Is it the 
fact that I am using an older version of dovecot that SSHA passwords in 
an openldap directory are not recognized and give the following error:

dovecot-auth: Unknown password scheme SMD5

?

LDAP  is working as expected for NFS maildirs.

I have dovecot 0.99.13 working on fedora core 3, but the stability of 
fedora leaves much to be desired and would like to get a stable, low 
maintenance install of dovecot on an enterprise supported linux.

Redhat does not have packages for 0.99.14 and I would rather compile 
from source if possible. I've specified --with-ldap as part of the 
configure script, but am wondering if there is anything more to add to 
support SSHA passwords.

Until dovecot 1.0 is proven in the field, it is not a consideration for 
the production environment this server is being used for.

Any help with this matter would be greatly appreciated.

TIA,

Mel Llaguno
