Re: Configuring OpenLDAP 2.2 with gdbm

[Benjamin Griese <der.darude@gmail.com>]

Hi Prentice,

in general you're right I wouldn't say something if he had a release
in the lower 2.4s, but the version he is using is _two major_ releases
behind. Probably when he fixed his original problem, its not too far
away to think of the next problem due to a bug thats already fixed in
a newer version.
Thats the only point I was thinking of by saying that.

Bye.
