  Why?  There's no need to use the DBM module.  See recent messages on
this list.

  <shrug>  Don't bother debugging it.  Just use the "users" file.

  Why is DBM a *requirement*?  The server can load 10's of 1000's of
"users" file entries in less than a second.

  No.  In 2.x. you can reload the server dynamically.  In 2.1.x, you can
even use "radmin" to reload *just* the "files" module.
