Excellent.  I noted the problems with CDK4 vs CDK5, as we're running 
Debian unstable on most of our machines right now.  I'll need to get 
CDK4 for the admins who are running unstable.

(BTW, I just discovered that my boss is the package maintainer for CDK 
in Debian. :)

That's good to hear.  Now if Debian can speed up their release process, 
you might get CPM into a stable distro sometime this century. :)

One of the reasons we're switching from our current solution is that it 
doesn't support locking and we've accidentally corrupted the password 
file more than once.  That, the plain-text interface, and the ability to 
customize the data fields and search templates really sold me on CPM.

Thanks for providing CPM.
