Description:
------------
FreeBSD builds libc with Berkeley DB 1.85 support included. This is a known boneheaded issue on their part. Apart from that, ALL the system databases, in particular Sendmail databases, are built by default using BDB 1.85.

PHP4 on FreeBSD appears to have been ported to use DB4, but this means its not possible to access and modify /etc/mail/{access, aliases, mailertable, virtusertable} etc. built using the older BDB.

Therefore it becomes necessary to support BOTH file types through handlers "dbm" and "db4". This is true for FreeBSD 4.x and I think FreeBSD 5.x

I do not see the point here.
You can combine dbm handler with db2/db3/db4/gdbm/ndbm
handler. It is just a question in which library the dbm
functions live.

How to enable dba with 'dbm' handler support?

The FreeBSD ports seems disable 'dbm' handler,
and I don't know how to enable it.
