Slap/slap/slap - waking up now - sorry not much sleep since last week - sick child, still should never forget the most basic. I will redirect. Question: what level of debug would you recommend. Thanks!

There's also this other cool thing called job control...

(If the configure test didn't find a specific BDB version that it recognized, it would eventually fallback to -ldb4 which would work anyway.) -- -- Howard Chu Chief Architect, Symas Corp. http://www.symas.com Director, Highland Sun http://highlandsun.com/hyc Chief Architect, OpenLDAP http://www.openldap.org/project/
