[Kroupware] Client installation

[Andreas Gungl]

Hi Dick,

I' using the Kroupware Client RC2 at work, the output of KAddressBook's info 
doesn't contain anything about Kroupware. However, to access an LDAP tree, 
you can really use KAddressBook from a normal KDE 3.1 too.
Please, try the following:

1) Stop KDE if it's running.
2) Move your $HOME/.kde directory to a save place.
3) Restart KDE.
4) Start the KAddressBook application. Set the LDAP server options and look 
for the toolbar icon.
5) When you can do an LDAP search, compare $HOME/.kde/share/config/kab*
and $HOME/.kde/share/apps/kabc/* to your saved files to find a difference.
6) Restore your $HOME/.kde and make some changes in the kabc configuration 
if you detected a reason for your problems.

As an alternative, you can try KAddressBook under a new account to find out, 
whether LDAP access is okay resp. the toolbar icon is available.

Regards,
Andreas
