as stated it is done to let kolab_bootstrap reach the end..., so at least 
ldapsearch is doing something.  I just discovered that perl-kolab does checks 
on the existance of kolab(-r/-n) users...  The thing is that I don't whether 
these are needed at all.  Perhaps they can all be replaced by users that 
already exist on the target platform (suse in my case), like www, ldap, etc?

It is very interesting to know, which files/apps should be owned by 
kolab(-r/-n).  Can you say something about that??
