24 now checks if "postgres" user exists on the host/vserver.
25 changes to ninjahelper
26 check_perms() does not die anymore on group/world readable
27 helper scripts (now consistent with the "helper scripts
28 must not be group or world writable!" error msg).

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

46 slapcat), restart, passwordfile and binddn. Default backup method
47 is set to ldapsearch as this is safer
48 ******************************************************************
49 NOTE: to get the previous default behavior with the ldap handler,
50 you must set "method = slapcat". The new default is ldapsearch.
51 ******************************************************************
52 implemented fix so that the main script will echo fatal errors rather
53 than being silent about them, this means an error message every hour
54 if there is a major configuration problem (not a handler problem)

84 results of handlers are now read line by line.
85 changes to rdiff handler: added "options", and "keep" is
86 not necessarily days now (ie, it will pass straight through to
87 rdiff-backup if the keep has a unit on it, otherwise it adds the 'D').
