Hi,

Why not add this code on config/hooks.php and move or create function
or
group of functions on separate files... I've not test this code but I
think
it can be a good solution for split hooks functions...

This function can probable be extended for all other config file that
can be
huge... (ex. check if a config/"configfile" directory exist, if yes,
read
all files...

$configdir = '/var/www/html/horde/config/hooks';
if ($d = @opendir($configdir)) {
    while ($f = readdir($d)) {
        if (ereg(".php$", $f)) {
            include_once '$configdir/' . $f;
        }
    }
    closedir($d);
}

Create a file like
:/var/www/html/horde/config/hooks/password_hook_userdn.php that
contain the
hook(s) function(s).

// Here is an example _passwd_hook_userdn function that you can use to
provide
// your ldap server with a userdn so that you do not have to perform
anonymous
// binds.  The function takes Auth::getAuth() as a parameter
if (!function_exists('_passwd_hook_userdn')) {
    function _passwd_hook_userdn($auth)
    {
        return 'uid=' . $auth . ',o=example.com';
    }
}
