Re: Problems using HDB...

[Chris van der Merwe <chris@arnes.si>]

Wow! Thanks Howard, well it would be cool if there could be some kinda 
way of telling from the debug which version is running :-) From the 
testing I did with the LDAP server (from a Radius client) it was clear 
that performance had improved - but I wasn't sure if was an improvement 
in the code from the stable version or whether it was the new backend.

Well hopefully when the code hits the stable shelves we'll see some 
indications in the debug as to what's running.

Thanks
 Chris
