Why not...
Authored by: readparse on Jun 16, '04 04:09:27PM

Yeah, that's a good idea. I should never post when I'm in a hurry, because I always leave stuff out. Like the permissions issue. I set the permissions on the PublicAddressBook to 777, which is certainly not the ideal way to do it.

I agree that there should be a group that has access to the global address book and those users needing access to it should be in that group.

The other difference is that I put in in /usr/local... /Users/Shared is a better idea.

Another thought... the best thing about a public address book is that it allows you to share those addresses while still being able to maintain private addresses of your own. So the idea solution to this would allow users to share an address group but not the entire book.

Food for thought.
