merovingian sets the vault key, the thing that mserver5
Sets it to what exactly? And where is it set? A cryptic message in the .conf says something.secret is for mserver5 but ignored if using merovingian, but then does not go on to say what you are supposed to do/set if ineed using merovngian. I really don't care about using merovngian or not. I just need the db to start automatically at boot as a dameon. Monetdb seems like a great and fast engine but I have to say it has been really a huge uphill struggle with the amount of bugs and invalid setups I've run into. I've spent the past several days just trying to dig through this with no progress. I hope these bugs can be straightened out quickly. I'd really like to use it but must make some progress. Hopefully we can get this straightened out quickly? Thank you!
complains about when it is not set (which is the default). This key is used to cypher and decypher your passwords. Hence, if you use another vault key, the passwords can no longer be decyhered to the value you think it should be.
