You should probably move this to the openldap list, or the thunderbird list, since it really has nothing to do with FreeBSD. I have Thurderbird reading my directory, but I haven't worked on getting Thunderbird to write to an LDAP directory. You need to set up your LDAP with TLS and the proper ACLs; and depending on your situation you may want a seperate ou for the address book. Maybe even a seperate ou for each user (ouch). No special schema required, it should read the standard "mail", "phone", etc attributes. Check the LDAP RFCs for a complete list. --=20 -- Perfection is just a word I use occasionally with mustard. --Atom Powers--
