Full_Name: Cedric Tefft Version: CVS OS: N/A URL: ftp://ftp.openldap.org/incoming/ Submission from: (NULL) (205.138.230.84) Yesterday's CVS version of the Admin Guide has a somewhat confusing example in section 4.2: "Running configure" just after table 4.1: "Environment Variables". The verbage describing the example invocation of the configure script talks about configuring the LDBM backend and the shell backend, but the shell backend is not mentioned anywhere else in the example. It is not clear how shell support is being enabled. If it is enabled by default this should be explicitly stated so as not to confuse the reader. Additionally, the given example enables a backend described as the "DNS-SRV" backend which isn't mentioned anywhere else in the guide.
I concur. The mention of other backend databases should be removed and another flag, such as --disable-crypt, be used in the example.
