It wouldn't be too much of a stretch of the imagination to think of the 
e-smith configuration being stored in LDAP. You'd only need to rewrite a 
few perl classes, and bootstrap the process.

I notice there were some Kolab related modules released on CPAN recently. 
Unfortunately (and surprisingly) the documentation is rather skeletal, 
see, e.g.:

http://search.cpan.org/~stephanb/Kolab-LDAP-0.01/

[I thought CPAN enforced QA standards?]
