! 6. Caveats
* You will see a contact with "Department: Contacts". This is the OU; you can't do anything with this.
* If you try and create a user 'Foo', you will get a failure (Error adding card: Other error) which equates to "no sn: field in LDAP".
-* You shouldn't use the root DN - the next update will concern creating an LDAP user and giving them access to the contacts, but I might tie that into migrating all my system users to LDAP as well.
-* If you are trying to export address books from mozilla
to use via ldap
in mozilla
it might help to be aware of some bugs ..
