+
+LAM allows the user to store the configuration settings in profiles. This makes it easy to
+manage different LDAP servers. All profile files ae stored in config/ and are named <name>.conf.
+The master configuration file config/config.cfg only stores the
+default profile and master password. It has the same file format as the
+profiles.
+
+
File format
+LAM allows to store values and comments in the configuration files.
+Only one type per line is allowed, it is not possible to mix comments
+and values in the same line.
+
+
Settings
+
+<identifier>: <value>
+
+The first word in the line is taken as identifier for the
+setting. It must be followed by a ":"
+and a space.
+The rest of the line is taken as the value for this setting.
+
+
Comments
+# Comment
+
+Comments always start with a "#"
+as first character and end at the line end. LAM will ignore all lines
+starting with a "#".
