What you call a deficiency(sp) is sheer nonsense. Tell me how you expect to provide read/write database access to a file included from any arbitrary filesystem location? Think about the safety of such a proposition as well; not everybody has AppArmor or other security mechanisms on their machines. You cry that it can't do "X" when in fact it would be irresponsible to ever allow it to do "X". You haven't thought it through, you're just babbling.
In my use cases I don't need read/write database access to a file for configuration.
I can afford to restart slapd to make it reload the configuration file, as it always did until now.
What I'm advocating is not losing this feature. Simone -- Simone Piccardi Truelite Srl piccardi@truelite.it (email/jabber) Via Monferrato, 6 Tel. +39-347-1032433 50142 Firenze http://www.truelite.it Tel. +39-055-7879597 Fax. +39-055-7333336
