Does nobody have any suggestions for me?

    Hi
    
    I only started looking at LDAP yesterday, so forgive any gross
    misunderstandings I may have  :)
    
    I am trying to set up a global address book which will work in outlook
    and evolution.  It must also support distribution lists

    If groupOfNames or groupOfUniqueNames is wrong, what should I be using
    for the distributions lists?
    
    My next question is: are there mail clients which can update the LDAP
    address book?  If so, how would user authentication work -where would I
    store the passwords?
    
    Finally, would I be able to store personal address books on the LDAP
    server.  Would I need to hardcode a different dn in the client for each
    user?
