LDAP Account Manager (LAM) 0.4.4 - February 29th, 2004
======================================================


A web frontend for managing accounts stored in an OpenLDAP server.


Announcement
------------

After a year of developing LDAP Account Manager we think that LAM has
reached a state where we can declare it stable.

Thanks a lot to all the people that helped us to improve LAM and make it
such a great tool.

Special thanks go to:

- Clement Laforet for maintaining LAM in FreeBSD
- Matthew Palmer/Andreas Barth who sponsor LAM for Debian
- Zoltan Lohner/Oota Toshiya for their translations
- Andreas Rehm who wrote a howto for LAM
- John H. Terpstra for writing about LAM in his books

added, removed and edited over an easy to use web interface. Even the
configuration options are embedded in the interface.
