Then you can's simply 'apt-get install ldap-account-manager', as this  
will also install apache.  But installing LAM from source might  
actually work.  It's way simpler to install the packages on a different  
box, though.  Installing the Samba deb's on the Kolab box should be  
possible.

No idea if lam will add *everything* a kolab account needs.  Why don't  
you want to patch kolab so it creates the extra samba data, and then  
use the kolab interface?  The LAM interface is great to work with the  
*extra* features (like posix groups etc.), though.

Nope, it's usually about using the same (kolab) data base for both  
kolab and samba attributes.  I even use the Kolab LDAP db for storing  
DHCP information (not yet documented in my howto).
