I wrote up a detailed ldap HOWTO and posted it on my site: http://howto.linuxpowered.net/ldap/ldap.html it is a bit overkill for just an address book but it can give you an understanding of LDAP, how to install it, how to configure it etc. I reccomend LDAP explorer for database maintainence. The information is there to setup a directory which supports email clients but the information in there is a lot more then most email clients use(it won't hurt anything though). It's pretty easy once you understand the basics behind LDAP and how to manage it(what my doc hopefully explains). I wrote it because, like you said theres not much out there, it took me several months to build up the knowledge so I could write that document. hope it helps! nate -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
