Comments on: Contacts server? http://blog.simon.rycroft.name/2006/12/13/contacts-server/ Too lazy to be a blog, but a little more than the average web page.

I'm not looking for a closed source fully packaged LDAP server, I'm more than capable of getting OpenLDAP working myself, I just find the whole LDAP protocol for saving a few contacts on a server a little OTT. LDAP is intended for the enterprise, which I certainly am not. Very interesting Marty, the Symas site is quite awful to navigate around, which doesn’t say much for the software they’re providing.

There are numerous HOWTOs on how to set up a contact list and connect it to client applications and no new development is required. You can download a pre-build binary version of OpenLDAP with OpenSSL, Cyrus SASL, and BDB all coordinated and tested from www.symas.com for FREE (Linux and most Unix platforms, Windows coming).
