First thing is to fix the broken CVS link.  And why isn't this a project
at SourceForge?  That removes so much management headache...

Well ... why not?  I mean, there's already one file per VHost, it just
happens to be in gdbm format.  Whay can't it be in a
	user:cryptword:apopcrypt
format instead of a how-do-i-read-binary? format?

But the secret was the great undocumented spdbm program.  Using this
program is like searching for El Diablo.  I feel like Vasquez!

thanks for the help; working like a charm ...
