     Keep in mind that if you use a centralized database, you may have
     to restrict which hosts can access to it (i.e. the Print Servers).

+    read/write access and another user with read-only access to
+    the Print Quota Database. PyKota doesn't set any passwords
+    for these users though, but doing it is recommanded, and 
+    explained elsewhere in PyKota's documentation.

+    For the OpenLDAP backend, YOU have to ensure that no regular
+    user can write to any PyKota specific attribute or objectClass.
+    Otherwise they could modify their quota at will.
