+
+Every account profile is saved as single file in config/profiles. The
+file extension is the account type (user, group, ...).
+In contrast to the configuration profiles the account profiles are not
+designed to be editable by hand. They do not allow to add comments and
+have a simpler format.
+
+
Format
+There is one option per line which is formated: <identifier>:
+<value>
+
+Identifier is the option's name, value is the rest of the line after
+the first ": ".
+Some options are multi-valued, the sub-values are separated by "+::+".
+
+
+Examples:
+
+posixAccount_primaryGroup: group1
+posixAccount_additionalGroup: group3+::+group4+::+group5+::+group6

profiles.inc
+
+This file includes all functions to manage account
+profiles. You can read/store/list/delete profiles.
+
+Profile names may contain letters, numbers, "_" and "-". All functions
+which have a profile name as parameter check this.
+Functions which modify the filesystem (saveAccountProfile,
+delAccountProfile) also check if the user is logged in to LAM
+for security reasons. This is done by reading $_SESSION['logedIn'].
