Adding LDAP support sounds like lots of work - basically you need to 
replace all db_*() functions and also need to "translate" the SQL 
queries to something that LDAP understands.

Most queries are built in PFAHandler.php and some db_*() functions 
nowadays, but we still have some hand-written queries here and there.

To make things interesting, LDAP is quite different from SQL.

Don't get me wrong - I don't want to stop you. I just want to warn you 
that this won't be an easy ride ;-)

BTW: list-admin.php, list-domain.php, fetchmail.php and vacation.php 
will be replaced by list.php and edit.php sooner or later, so better 
don't invest time on them.

I'm afraid I can't offer a simple receipe ;-) - maybe the easiest way is 
to join the #postfixadmin IRC channel on freenode and to ask there. 
I'm usually there in the (CET) evening (username "cboltz").

looks like you have some special code in yast for password "x", maybe I
should use the even more secure new password "y" in the future  ?! ;-)
