Re: openldap 1.2.9

[kunkee@neosoft.com (Randy Kunkee)]

In the code, there is (currently) no distinction between kill -TERM
and kill -INT.  Both will provide a clean shutdown of the daemon.
If there is a difference made in the future, it will be in how quickly
the daemon shuts down, and should not affect having a good database.

I would recommend updating to the latest version of 1.2.x.  I can only
begin to answer your other question.  Basically, 2.0.x moves to support
LDAPv3 protocol, and all that that involves.  There are many RFCs you
can read to start getting an idea.  Or get the new code, build it and
play with it.
