Anyway, I think any user that uses ftp is assumed to have a posixAccount anyway, since they receive mail etc etc. > There are probally a dozen other questions I have, but those are off > the top of my head. > Well, you can also try and get it running ...

Would this same capability be > available using libconf (I'm not fimular with that). We currently use vi, ldapsearch/ldapmodify etc and smbldap-tools, but we want something for sieve. The reason I mentioned libconf is that it would allow mods to the existing config files (ie main.cf etc) without losing manual changes, whereas the kolab script always rebuilds the config file from a template. Note *all* postfix configuration (incl. transports etc) is kept in ldap, so if a user sets up a content_filter in master.cf, it will be trashed by kolab.
