Let's take what I said step by step and see where I blamed the whole project and/or Alan.

"First I cannot use rlm_dbm_parser to create a dbm file."

That is a simple statement of fact. I didn't elaborate in that email because I had given more detail in earlier emails. And if you will read the entire thread, you will see that I never blamed anyone or anything for this situation. I presented facts and ask questions. I thought that is how you debugged things.

"My second problem may be related to the first.  After testing my
configuration and plain text users file (which work without a hitch) I
create a users.db file using builddbm, a program from an earlier
version of radius (not FreeRadius)."
Again a simple statement of fact to help Alan understand what I had tried. I didn't say it was suppose to work, I just stated that I had tried it. I guess a cynical eye could take the statement "which worked without a hitch" as a criticism, but it was again just a statement of fact to let Alan know that the entire installation wasn't broken, but that some things worked.

"So that's the problem.  Whenever I try to switch to dbm things fall
apart.  The strange thing is that I am using a radiusd.conf and users files
from a working version of FreeRadius as my model.
Again a simple statement of fact. I freely admitted that things go awry when I tried to make the change to using dbm. Again if you will read the entire thread you will see that I several times admitted that it was probably something I was doing that was causing the problem.

My problem is that Alan, after offering his services for hire took statements that have to be twisted dramatically to even begin to be considered critical or confrontational, was condescending and even called me a liar. I NEVER did anything except state facts and ask questions. If Alan felt that this was a problem he didn't want to tackle, all he had to do was politely state "I don't think I can help you with this issue". Remember, I was responding to Alan's OFFER of his services for hire. I didn't demand his services, I had merely stated in several emails that I even willing to pay someone for help and he responded.

I might not have been clear in outlining EVERY step that I took, but I was trying to present enough facts while still being brief. And new facts were developing as time passed. I wasn't setting on my hands between emails waiting for someone to solve my problem, I was trying different things. I have no doubt that this may have confused the matter somewhat. But I was doing the best I could with what information I had available.

Hey, Man.
Alan doesn't wrote rlm_dbm and documentation for it.
So all bugs and discordancy belongs to authors of module

I am sure it will be more useful then public blame of whole
project and Alan especially.
