[dvlug] [sf-lug] Ubuntu LDAP Admin Interface

[Michael Paric]

Luma looks nice but I usually don't run X on the servers. I'll try and  
dig up the scripts I wrote that tied Gosa's user creation with  
Sabayon's Profile Editor. It was easy enough that I had a faculty  
member maintain the student log ins.
