I think going to userdb ldap may be a great long term solution,  
however I'll need to setup an offline computer to configure and test  
it on before I could run it live.

Is there any way that I can just downgrade back to 0.99.x to see if  
this issue is in fact caused by a difference between the two  
versions? Will downgrading cause any known issues? If I could just  
get this working like it was before the upgrade to 1.0.2-2, I'd have  
enough time to setup and test userdb ldap.
