40 now checks if "postgres" user exists on the host/vserver.
41 changes to ninjahelper
42 check_perms() does not die anymore on group/world readable
43 helper scripts (now consistent with the "helper scripts
44 must not be group or world writable!" error msg).

46 then nano, vim and vi, and aborts if none of these exists.

60 version 0.6 -- June 16 2005

62 slapcat), restart, passwordfile and binddn. Default backup method
63 is set to ldapsearch as this is safer
64 ******************************************************************
65 NOTE: to get the previous default behavior with the ldap handler,
66 you must set "method = slapcat". The new default is ldapsearch.
67 ******************************************************************

69 than being silent about them, this means an error message every hour
70 if there is a major configuration problem (not a handler problem)
