This is good! Thanks for the tip. I didn't know about that site. Just two minor quibbles: 1) It appears that v1 was in C while v2 is in Perl. I never trust Perl for anything requiring high performance, so it seems to me to be kind of a shame that v2 is in Perl. 2) Typos on this page: http://www.policyd.org/tiki-index.php?page=Features "... independant:" -> "... independent:" Other than those minor quibles, I'm glad to see that somebody took the bull by the horns and created something that everybody can use. I am just slighly worried however about the DB support. SleepyCat doesn't seem to be among the listed set of supported DBs. (But maybe that's actually a non-issue.) Regards, rfg
