Many common desktop email / groupware packages these days (Ximian Evolution, Mozilla Mail, Microsoft Outlook) have the ability to connect to a Remote LDAP server to retrieve a list of contacts. This is a great way to have a single address book available at multiple locations.
This describes how to setup OpenLDAP to use as a personal addressbook.
There is not a lot involved in setting up OpenLDAP to use as a personal addressbook, you basically
I store all my contacts under the ou=People subtree, so the DN for my addressbook looks like
ou=People,dc=ldap,dc=my,dc=domain,dc=here
Ximian Evolution assumes that you will not have write access to your LDAP address book unless you have authenticated with the LDAP server.
