If you debian-installation is already set up using libnss-ldap and
slapd, lwat should be able to work without a config-file, given that
the debconf-cache is pulic readable. lwat tries to make qualified
guessesbased on what it find in debconf for various packages, such
as libnss-ldap, slapd, exim4, postfix and some other packages. lwat
will then store it's config in a cookie, so it doesnt need to look
it all up every time something is send to the server. But the server
admin may override the settings by createing a config.php, and store
it under /etc/lwat.
buildconf.php is meant for this task, to make sure there is reasonable defaults. of course it's up to the admin to edit the settigns. you may create a new config.php by using the command
wget -O /etc/lwat/config.php http://<servername>/lwat/buildconf.php[INDEX]
