The setup is going to need to make a default OpenLDAP server installation on 
Debian Squeeze do syncrepl, as it does not seem to be loaded by default.

This sort of setup doing something just a little different than what is the 
default gets us right smack in the middle of a conflict with APT packages both 
running debconf and starting the services right after installation of the 
package. Right now an apt-get -y install openldap gets you a configuration 
dialog and starts slapd. setup-kolab would need to shut it down, remove all 
configuration done by debconf and start over... :/

I'm confident I can get a long way with it, but it is also not the highest on 
my list of priorities, which include Free/Busy, Resource Management, the 
management thereof and domain/role management in the admin (api).

Of course help in development is very much appreciated and will speed up the 
process significantly.

Kind regards,
