A shell script to share Address Book data between users
Authored by: Gigacorpse on Jun 17, '04 08:11:48AM

Doesn't Mac OS X client come with slapd included? If so, you should be able to run a local LDAP server and have Mail sync to that.

Personally, I would like to see Apple's Address Book support an option of including addresses from a system wide address book that the administrator could set up, which would reside in /Library/Address Book/ (or something like that).

I'd like to see Apple make a lot of their app's data available in a global area. Such as iPhoto, iTunes, Address Book.

The best thing for apple to do is provide the ability to subscribe to address books via rendezvous on the network. This is something every office needs and wants. That way you can have one person be responsible for the company wide directory.....

I wish, oh I wish, that something would provide an easy and reliable way to update LDAP databases. Most things connect to them and search them but most can't update them. And the things that can aren't generally things I want to use.

Now, Apple - that would be a really useful addition to Address Book...
