I have been following this discussion for some time now.
I would really like to see a configuration option to allow the sysadmin to
tell all horde apps to use the same password for all apps. Soo if you log
into Horde, then you are logged in to all the apps and can change between
them as you like.

I belive that on many systems the password is the same regardless if the
users want to read mail or use FTP (or whatever) so a centralized log in
would make sence... (at least for all the people running Horde + apps on
intranets)

I tend to agree with René and Atif.  The flies in the ointment, IMO, are the
incompatible authentication methods used by the different pop3, imap and
ftp servers.  The only common denominator, or at least the easiest, is
/etc/passwd.  Probably many/most of us are trying to evolve to another more 
flexible method that works better with virtual domains and users. 
Maybe that is where the real opportunity is.

In addition to horde, I am starting to integrate openldap, proftpd, cyrus 
or courier and mod_ldap for apache, but still only have it partially
implemented.  The horde login question is one of the implementation issues 
that I need to deal with.  I think many of us want to go the same way but
what is the optimal approach for today?  
(assuming of course, that there is one:-).

Ah, okay. That's because we're not currently setting the language there, or the 
path to any .mo files. I'm working on this now.
