10x 4 the advice the verdict is as follows:

1. there is somekind of connection between ldap and the way sme manages users, but u can't see all the parameters entered via the sme user form in ldap.

2. is is not clear what tools like usermod (which i try to use to enforce account expiration)do to sme although they work and do something.

3. webmin, is not recommeneded by contrib to use on sme.

4. still it's strange that basic unix capabilities are not exposed
