LDBFD - server
---------------------------------------------------
In order to execute server you must load ldbfd program.
 it has a few parameters that you may specify:

    ldbfd -cconf_path -nldbfnet_path -llog_level -I -O
  where:
       -cconf_path - defines path(cobf_path) to config file ldbf.conf
              by default it use current directory     
       -nldbfnet_path - define path to ldbfnet daemon (ldbfnet_path)
              if it located in global path or in the current directory
              with ldbfd, you may not specify this parameter
       -O - enable optimization, it overwrite value in conf file
       -I - all databses will be opend in exclusive mode
       -llog_level - as in the conf file, this is level of logging

LDBFPASSWD - password utility
------------------------------------------------------

ldbfpasswd utility supports user names and passwords.It located in ldbf.passwd
 file.If you do not want use password just press enter when you will be prompted
 for password.But if you once specified password you won't connect to 
 server without it.
 Library have to string variable for this purpose - 
 char ldbfname[11] 
 char ldbfpasswod[11]
 ldbfname filled with your login name unless you specified another
 name.ldbfpasswod must be filled with your password before you issue
 ldbfConnect in the case you have been registered in ldbf server 
 with password, otherwise leave it as it.

LDBFMON - LDBF server monitor
--------------------------------------
 ldbfmon give you ability to monitor all ldbf server work.
 you may see all users connected to server, it open databases,
 commands that server doing.
 If you is owner you may kill connections by pressing DEL key.
 Monitor updates every 5 seconds, but you may specify another
 update period in command line.Just enter ldbfmon 10 and
 monitor will be refreshed every 10 seconds.

Important notes
--------------------------------------
Because LDBF server uses shared message queues it depends
 on message queue size (MSGMAX).
 This is max size of packet that may be send and recieved by server.
 If you want use very large record you must increase this parameter
 and recompile kernel.

Max open databases is 40 currently.
Because this project has been become commercial, for Linux only server 
will be distributeed free with 3 user license.
