I wrote the check as a function because you can use it in several areas, this way.

Now, back to my question. Can anyone help me with the username setup? I can't think how you can use a variable in Sphinx conf file... because you cannot. Obviously I`m wrong, kmike did it but unfortunatelly he is not available.

this will not work in a multi-server setup.
