Hi,

I'm pleased to announce that PyKota v1.09beta is out with
full LDAP support.

PyKota is a GPLed but commercially supported Print Quota
management system which works with CUPS and LPRng.

Learn more about it at :

  http://www.librelogiciel.com/software/PyKota/action_Presentation
  
The more important changes since 1.08 are :

  - LDAP schema finalized (hopefully) and
    full LDAP support added to store quota
    information.
    
    You can now store quota information either in PostgreSQL
    or in an OpenLDAP directory.
    
    Tested only with OpenLDAP, not sure if the
    python-ldap module at sourceforge works
    with other LDAP servers. Please report any
    problems.
  
  - The repykota command now only returns the current
    user's quota information unless launched as the root
    user. When launched as root, the command line
    accepts users or groups names which can eventually
    contain wildcards, and returns quota information for
    each user or group whose name matches.
    
  - The warnpykota command behaves the same as the repykota  
    command.
    
  - Severe database access optimizations were done, especially  
    in the repykota command.
    
You are encouraged to download and try to break this version,    
especially the LDAP backend.

Please report any problem.

FYI if nothing bad happens, 1.09 final will be released by the end 
of the week, with tarballs and rpms as usual for people who 
purchased an official package. Only bug fixes will be incorporated
from now until 1.09final is released.

bye, and thanks to all who made this possible !
