Newbie needs some help

[Tim Streit]

Torsten,

Hello again.  I did figure out how to disable the retension setting, so 
that I could specify the primary address.  I am still struggling greatly 
with the kolab-webadmin functioning properly, and I think I'd answer 
most of my questions if I knew where to find some cli documentation...

Thanks,

Tim
