Great!  Is any of your work likely to be applicable to the issue of
Mozilla or other web browsers not being able to perform NTLM
authentication?

I reviewed the proposed configuration file.  It is straightforward, and
I understood it quickly.

Minor nit.  I'm not sure "[global]" is the best name for default
settings ... (a) FreeTDS may be used in space ;-), (b) it prevents the
use of a database with that name, (c) "[]", "[*]" or "[defaults]" mean
more to me.
