I didn't recall this on first reading your message, but after a little experimentation it looks like we did have a minor syntax change somewhere between 1.4.3 and 1.6.1 -- in the older code, a comment had to have the "#" at the start of the line, and now there can be whitespace in front of it. Just remove the leading whitespace from those comment lines and all should be fine (though I think 1.4.3 predates the DAL and LDAP support, so you could just drop that section altogether).
