Thank you for testing. I was unable to test it this week. I had updated my test machine to maverick and needed to set up a virtual machine to test. It probably needs a test by the person who needed the AUTHBIND setting to make sure it doesn't break that, but ... I notice the change I made also included the addition of "-b". I don't know what impact that has but it made sense when I was working on it.
