Hi,

Sorry for the late answer.

I have read again the last version of slapo-ppolicy man page.

Everything seems ok : each section is linked to each other.

The attributes section (pwdUseCheckModule/pwdCheckModuleArg) defines all
attributes at the same place and show how they work together.

Thanks for the fix about the upgrade notes.

Regards
