Yes. But that may take a bit longer. Tim's announcing the open
source/upstream/community release here ;-)

That's understandable, and I'd not advise that you do that. Perhaps Tim
can investigate publishing hawk packages that are build against the
latest maintenance updates for SLE HA.

Everything else using LDAP auth (e.g. pam_ldap, apache mod_authnz_ldap, LDAP plugins to various CMSes/Wikis/issue trackers, etc.) is fine with both "adaugherity" and "ADaugherity" but hawk/crm_gui require the mixed-case version.

They go via the PAM backends too, so this is surprising ... Thanks for
pointing this out.
