NOTE: if you use a devel version, this can change WITHOUT notice. from 0.37* and 0.36: * Avoid_initgroups_for option has been removed. from 0.33.1 and older: * All field names in the configuration files MUST be fully qualified. conf.version = X; where X is the version number of the configuration file MUST be added, otherwise conf.version = 1; will be assumed and an error message will be issued when parsing the file. from 0.30 and older: * The name of groups.passwordcolumn MUST be different from any columns defined in user.tables and groups.members table from 0.22 and older: * shadow.{lastchange,min,max,inact,warn,expire}_column have been added. Check the sample configuration file for more information. * shadow.userid_column has been added. This allows caching for ***spent functions. * groups.password_column has been added. This implements groups passwords. * --with-default_home and --with-default_gid have been removed. See nss-mysql.conf to make things work the way they were. * first_gid trick has been removed (yeah it is good !). See the sample configuration file to see how you keep things working the way they were. * --with-default_group has become --with-default_gid * groups.host,groups.database,groups.db_user, groups.db_password have been removed. This is NOT a loss of features. Groups and users have always had to be in the same database. These options have been removed because of this limitation.
