This is ~ppr/src/libpprdb/README.

Last updated 16 February 1996.

This directory contains the code for the PPR user database.  The user
database stores user account information including a balance
information.

As far as I know the user database system has never been put into production 
because appropriate client side user identification programs for personal
computers have not been written yet.  You should expect bugs if you try to
use this feature.  The user database features, commands, and the functions
in these modules may change as dictated by the demands of actual use.

This directory contains a number of subdirectories.  Each one contains
a drop in module for the PPR user database system.  These are the modules
which are currently provided:

gdbm	Implements the PPR user database using the GNU database library.

none	A dummy implementation which contains functions which produce
        an error message and report failure.

The top level Makefile compiles one of these systems.  The one to be
compiled is chosen with the make variable "USER_DBM" which is defined
in global.mk.
