Title: LDAP Questions
Post by: Nick Texidor on January 12, 2002, 03:55:17 AM

I'm trying to set up a central address book/contact list for people on my local network, mainly so that I don't have to keep copying my contact lists to all the computers.  

Is it best to do this with LDAP?  If so, how can I set up LDAP, on e-smith v5, in order to let me add addresses to it?  At the moment I can access the LDAP directory from Netscape, Mozilla etc etc, but I can only see the details for the accounts on that network.  Is it possible to create a "personal" directory (one seperate from the machine accounts) that I can access?

Thanks for any help

Suggestions not answers.
In the contributed howto's there is this:

If you search the forums, the question has been discussed before, also have a look at rolodap (sourceforge.net/projects/rolodap), and Horde-IMP-Turba is advancing along (IMP is the webmail client in e-smith, Turba is its related contact manager) and includes LDAP capability.
