  The dragonwave dictionary isn't on the new server.  Add it to the new
server, and it will work.

  Yes, += is what you want to use.

  I don't know what that means.

  The functionality of the "users" file is documented.  See "man users",
and the comments at the start of the default file.

  Which is on the old server, and isn't on the new one.

  I've added it to the default release, so it will be there.  At least
for vendors who ship recent versions of the server instead of 2.1.12.
