Thanks a lot!

I started adding some minor fixes until the first questions popped up.

I only looked briefly at the scripts you uploaded and I guess I could  
extract the information from there but I assumed it is easier to ask  
in plain text.

You seem to define all attributes available in posixGroup also in  
companionGroup (except the cn). Why do you actually associate a  
companionGroup to a Kolab user or a Kolab group (distribution list).  
Wouldn't it be sufficient to declare a completely new posixGroup that  
is independent of the Kolab user/group? What kind of information does  
the companionGroup draw from the Kolab user/group it is associated to?

Cheers,

Gunnar
