[Kroupware] FreeBusy + Usernames

Hi,

With Kolab v 1.0 there are a few problems with Outlook 2000.

1) The freebusy user does not get created in LDAP. The problem being
that with Outlook 2000 and proftpd the template files are still setup to 
use the user with uid=freebusy. I.e. The normal usernames cannot login
to FTP

2) The e-mail usernames cannot be used within the Free/Busy URLs 
within Outlook:

ie. http://myuser@domain:password@kolabserver/freebusy

does not work - my guess is that Outlook gets confused by the @ in the
username. Any ideas for a workaround?

3) Would it be possible to save Free/Busy time in the format:
user at domain.vfb ? Obviously this will have to be supported by KMail 
as well? This will allow us to copy the files between server for "Free/Busy"
replication.


Any suggestions/ideas welcome!
All the best,
--
