missing ndbm support in mod_auth_dbm.

           Summary: missing ndbm support in mod_auth_dbm.
           Product: Apache httpd-2.0
           Version: 2.0.36
          Platform: Sun
               URL: http://muhv.pri.ee/~tsoome/soft/apache2/
        OS/Version: Solaris
            Status: NEW
          Severity: Blocker
          Priority: Other
         Component: mod_auth_dbm
        AssignedTo: bugs@httpd.apache.org
        ReportedBy: tsoome@muhv.pri.ee


we are useing webct (www.webct.com) virtual learning software, and it was
configured to use ndbm files for user databases. since 2.0.32 (I think), users
were not be able to log in. It appears that NDBM files are not supported any more.

from url given above, you can find udiff with ndbm support implementation,
apr_dbm_ndbm.c and some integration. I have made some tests with testdbm as well.

as dbm_* calls are implemented in libc in solaris, it may needed to use -lc
before -lgdbm, as gdbm lib will provide dbm_* api as well, but it seems to be
not compatible with ndbm created databases:(

I hope, this code will be useful.
