executing things when adding new users

[Stephan Buys]

Hello Mark,

The way that Kolab works is as follows:
1) All users, alias and a bit of server information is stored in LDAP. The LDAP server is
set to send change notifications whenever somethings changes in LDAP using the slurp
protocol.
2) The Kolab daemon "pretends" to participate in LDAP replication and gets the notifications
mentioned above.
3) Whenever a change in LDAP is detected by the Kolab daemon it spawns some actions.

If you want to automate certain things you will need to look at the Kolab daemon and more
specifically the perl-kolab package.

You might look in the Kolab::LDAP package for some more details.

My generalist advice would be to modify the perl-kolab set of packages and add perl hooks
that would in turn execute scripts.

Regards,
Stephan
