I submitted these bug reports (with fixes) back in June, and have been mantaining them in my local sources since then. Together, they seem to make "compare_check_items = yes" quite usable, and more flexible than the suggested rlm_checkval alternative. I've attached an updated patch for both against the current CVS HEAD to bug #459. Is there anything else I can do to help integrate these fixes?
