Ptloader configuration in Cyrus IMAP

[Clément Hermann (nodens)]

Oops, about the slowness : it is really fast. The pts information is cached.
Actually, you will likely use ptexpire a lot when setting your groups at
first, to reset the cache.

Do I understand correctly from this discussion and the sparse mention of
this in the documentation that the LDAP ptloader module can be used to
manage group ACLs with "auth_mech=pts/pts_module=ldap", instead of
"auth_mech=unix/unix_group_enable=1"?

Does this solve the slowness caused by UNIX groups in LDAP?

Does "auth_mech" affect anything else?

I have heretofore ignored mention of the pts/ptloader stuff because I
was under the impression that it was entirely AFS-related, which I have
no infrastructure for, but if this is the way to enable groups in LDAP
without the slowness, then I need to look more closely at this.
