Changing Directory Manager password

[Soliva, Andrea]

Hi

sorry one mistake in docu which means restart kolabd at the end not 
start (of course kolabd must not be stopped but restarted):

Restart Service:

        # systemctl restart kolabd.Service

        NOTE For CentOS 6.6 use:

             # Service kolabd restart

---
Mit freundlichen Grüssen
