Then you could administer most of the data I'm pretty sure that's what Anders proposed, though. It depends what you mean by "db" files, though. I think Anders proposed to get rid of the actual DB files, using the plain text ones as the backend for the LDAP server. The assumption is that in the situations where you do not wish to run a LDAP server, the plain text files are good enough already, performance-wise.
