81 is set to ldapsearch as this is safer
82 ******************************************************************
83 NOTE: to get the previous default behavior with the ldap handler,
84 you must set "method = slapcat". The new default is ldapsearch.

119 changes to rdiff handler: added "options", and "keep" is
