Alain, I had a look at the threads you mention; I implemented 
samba+kolab basically following http://wpkg.org/kolab/ but I didn't find 
any reason to have 2 distinct passwords for kolab and samba.
Actually what do you exactly means? Users must have one password for 
kolab and a a second one for samba? Why?

At the moment the only problem I have is Kolab considering Manager as a 
normal user ... any hints on this?

Cheers
