I've patched security.sdf and I'm abotu to clean up some typos and formating.

Thanks.

Should we also mention that CRYPT is platform specific?

I put in a note about the glibc2 version, but I was not aware of any platform oddities on the traditional 13-character version. Are there other MD5 variants?

We could also mention the LANMAN scheme which I forgot to include as it is a compile-time option.

Lastly, should I also put:

into doc/guide/COPYRIGHT ?

No.

This file is a copy of the main OpenLDAP Software COPYRIGHT file. That file is intended to contain notices of copyright holders which hold signfiicant rights in OpenLDAP Software. Notices for copyright holders, as noted in the COPYRIGHT file, are generally to be placed in the individual source files which the holder holds significant rights in. That is, this notice belongs in security.sdf itself. I have so updated the source documents.

Good, this clears things up and make it clear going forward. Thanks.

Though the preface does clearly say that admin guide is part of OpenLDAP Software, I've also updated the preface to note that portions of the document may be copyright by others as indicated in source files.

Thanks again.
