Why does my server need [GTK], you say? Well, on Debian [Woody], OpenLDAP requires [ODBC], ODBC requires ODBC-setup and ODBC-setup requires libgtk. Or something similar. (Fixed in testing - see [LDAPNotes].)
When you install the server, use your hostname for the LDAP root DN - my hostname is ellusions.tla so my DN becomes dc=ellusions,dc=tla.

+Depending on how you install the packages, you may not be offered the choice of domain name. If you ar enot asked, the name could default to something useless like 'localhost', so use:
+
+dpkg-reconfigure -plow slapd

! 2. Get your existing contacts
By far the easiest way I found to get contacts out of Outlook and into LDIF was using MozillaMail as an intermediate step. Export whatever fields you need to a [CSV], fire up Mozilla and it's address book, import the file, line up the fields (be careful here!) and then you have all your data in Mozilla's address book. From the Tools menu, click Export, to LDIF - done.
