  Yeah, it's bug in libltdl.  Some library needed by rlm_exec is no
longer on the system, so rather than printing out the name of *that*
library, it says "failed to load rlm_exec".

  No idea.  and it may be difficult to find out.

  Or, just re-build the server.  In your case, I'm not surprised that
upgrading the OS broke applications.

  In any case, you *should* be running 1.0.5.  There are no
functionality differences between it and 1.0.0, but there are a number
of bug fixes.
