most of the @@@variable@@@ are directly comming from  ldap dn=k=kolab,dc=......
some from kolab.global in /kolab/etc/kolab and some are builded by the
kolabconf process

Template are just template!

GUI actions change LDAP object,
kolabd is waked up by replication process (slurp),
kolabd search for what changed in LDAP
kolabd create/delete/update object in cyrus,
kolabd regenerate template,
and finaly restart required processes.

kolabconf force all this stuff.
