[Devel] usrloc READONLY patch

[Bogdan-Andrei Iancu]

Hi Hendrik,

I have one question: isn't the functionality the same with using any 
current DB mode with save_memory() instead of save() ?

as DB mode is configured, the records will be loaded at startup, but by 
using save_memory() you prevent the DB to be updated from the memory cache.

thanks and regards,
bogdan
