Brian, 

I agree w/ other's opinions I have read in the 26 Feb 2001 daily bundle:
 - Concepts are unclear (and names resemble a lot)
   For example: assuming DBI::Password provides some key-ring function,
then why would I want to "add other virtual users" ??

 - I run a small site, on a small dedicated machine. So this feature
isn't important to me; which means that I will rather read the doc for
Slash than a long doc for DBI::Password.
What I would like to see is a use-case: 
 1. the BD is there:... , user passwd is..., Slash is there: ..., admin
passw is...
 2. configure DBI::Passwd as follows: ...
 3. alternatively, you could ... (things for people with distributed or
multi-hosted or complex in other ways Slash configurations)
 4. RTFM for details

 - This interactive install shell is nice when you install once, and it
works. In all other circumstances, you soon regret a config file & emacs
(ok, vi too).

Hope this helps,
