A shell script to share Address Book data between users
Authored by: designr on Jun 16, '04 10:33:08PM

As is described in this hint:

You can easily share desktops, documents folders and libraries, etc. between users. In this case, throw the address book database and prefs files (i.e.: ~/Library/Application Support/AddressBook/) into the Shared Folder and create links to it (them) in the appropriate places of the two Users home directories. Make sure the permissions give both users read/write access and you're done. Then both users can use the same address book (not at the same time though).
