I asking, because I want to setup email servers with a unified user
database. Can kerberos return the email address of the user and/or
mailbox location?

This brings up another question that I was very interested in. Will
IPA's web interface support adding custom fields to a users
description/profile? for example: mailbox location and any other
things that could be used for any arbitrary app? Currently, I'm
planning on adding it directly to ldap. to the users that I will be
needing to have it.

Ok, I'll prepare some docs.
