Re: [I] `[admins]` config not hashed and updated in local.ini if any config files exist in local.d [couchdb]

   `.ini` files are read in a hierarchy. The later ones override the early ones. It goes something like `default.ini`, `default.d/*.ini`, `local.ini` and `local.d/*.ini`. The `*.ini` ones are sorted, so typically there you'd want to add a numeric prefix indicating the order it should be `local.d/10-admins.ini` vs `local.d/50-admins.ini`. 
   
   Config values are written to the last file in the chain, so make sure to put your admins in the last file in the chain, say `local.d/80-mysettings.ini` for instance. Another approach is to pre-hash the password with an external tool. This is a bit more advanced but then it wouldn't rely on writing to the last `.ini` file rule.
