Hi guys,

When I started making the qmail-ldap version of the qmail-control(5) manpage I thought about giving up of writing these manpages.

But when I finished it I realized that it worth while because it brought new information about qmail-ldap.

qmail-control(5) provides a means to greatly compare stock Qmail with Qmail-ldap, in a manner not done before, showing clearly the simplicity of Qmail versus the complexity of Qmail-ldap.

Also, it shows that the "THE BIG Qmail-LDAP PICTURE" does not provide accurate information about all the control files. Just to illustrate this: a) "THE BIG Qmail-LDAP PICTURE" says that auth_pop and auth_imap have the same control files as qmail-lspawn: not true because qmail-lspawn does not read "ldaprebind" while auth_imap and auth_pop do. b) "THE BIG Qmail-LDAP PICTURE" does not say which program reads the "cert.pem" control file. But qmail-control(5) will show that for you.

After all, qmail-control(5) introduces a solution about how to properly create manpages for the ~control/files, considering that a lot of these control files are read by up to 4 different programs.

I urge everybody to read  http://www.qmail-ldap.org/wiki/Man/Man5/qmail-control.

And I need your feedback. I won't continue if I discover I'm working on the wrong way.

Best regards,
