This man page currently lists hdb as the recommended backend (for both 2.4 and 2.5/HEAD). I think at this point, back-mdb is the recommended backend for 2.4 (and obviously is for 2.5/HEAD). Any objections to me updating the manpage for 2.4.46 to reflect this? --Quanah -- Quanah Gibson-Mount Product Architect Symas Corporation Packaged, certified, and supported LDAP solutions powered by OpenLDAP: <http://www.symas.com>
