The issue with this is that is not userfriendly, and in order to put it in the 
login script you have to put the password in cleartext in the login script 
which is a really bad idea.

Also mounting the freebusy mountpoint from a Kolab *NIX server will require 
SAMBA or a windows NFS gateway, which both require a lot of configuration 
outside of kolab.

I will put heavy effort in testing https support for freebusy, cause the other 
options seem a bit shaky.

I will follow up with a post to the list once I get a bit further.

It would be cool to hear if other people have managed to get OL2000 working 
with https.
