1 version 0.x -- xxxxxxxxxxxxx
2 ldap handler has new options: backup method to use (ldapsearch or
3 slapcat), restart, passwordfile and binddn. Default backup method
4 is set to ldapsearch as this is safer
5 ******************************************************************
6 NOTE: to get the previous default behavior with the ldap handler,
7 you must set "method = slapcat". The new default is ldapsearch.
