We use the Berkeley DB package in our enhanced server but not for user
profile storage.  If you want to make enhancements, read our copyright

   http://www.merit.edu/aaa/basic.copyright

which says something in there about turning back into us/Merit any cool
features you may add.  This way we get to help everyone.  Very nifty!  :-)

True.

If you are referring to our radiusd "-u" option, this is to disable only
the users file caching, not the other "n-1" configuration files we cache.
