It's just an aliases file, "nickname<tab>list of e-mail addresses" if I remember rightly. > If the address book is limited to email addresses only, what do you > recommend or use for global web based contacts software? You can configure sqwebmail to query an LDAP database. It displays a limited set of fields, which as far as I can see from the source (sqwebmail/ldaplist.c) are SAVE("sn", sn); SAVE("cn", cn); SAVE("givenname", givenname); SAVE("o", o); SAVE("ou", ou); SAVE("l", l); SAVE("st", st); It wouldn't be hard to add extra attributes from inetOrgPerson, which would probably be a useful thing to do anyway. Otherwise, I guess you could use a separate LDAP-querying application, of which I think there are many but I don't have any to recommend as I've always just written my own in Perl. freshmeat.net may be a good starting point.
