OK, I can work around the LDAP lookups and even the FTP access. My
biggest concern was that the end-user needed to use the internal horde
name (uidNumber, in our case) to add an individual to their shares.
That struck me as counter-intuitive and might actually cause me to scrap
my _username_*_backend_hook plans. I guess I expected horde to use the
end-user-provided login names to access _anything_ outside horde.
Luckily, we are still in the testing phases of our horde implementation,
so we are not constrained by any installed base.
