Correct. To be more precise:
#/kolab/etc/rc all stop
#./obmtool kolab (from the correct location of course)
#/kolab/etc/rc openldap start (only openldap is needed when running kolabconf)
#/kolab/sbin/kolabconf
#/kolab/etc/rc openldap stop
#/kolab/etc/rc all start

Just keep an eye out during the for .rpmsave files. They will cause the different
services not to start...
