Right. Valid reason.

We have slapd running with the bdb backend and it didn't complain after upgrading. thanks -- Steffen Hansen | Klarälvdalens Datakonsult AB Senior Software Engineer| http://www.klaralvdalens-datakonsult.se | | Platform-independent | software solutions ______________________________________________________________________ The OpenPKG Project www.openpkg.org User Communication List openpkg-users@openpkg.org
