75 is set to ldapsearch as this is safer
76 ******************************************************************
77 NOTE: to get the previous default behavior with the ldap handler,
78 you must set "method = slapcat". The new default is ldapsearch.
79 ******************************************************************

81 than being silent about them, this means an error message every hour

113 changes to rdiff handler: added "options", and "keep" is
114 not necessarily days now (ie, it will pass straight through to
