[techtalk] LDAP question

[moebius at ip-solutions.net]

Hey All,
  I'm hoping someone a little more experienced w/LDAP can help me out. A
couple of basic questions:
1) when the openldap faq say to put root crypto password in the conf file
do they mean just copying it from /etc/shadow? Or is there some method of
encryption in ldap that I'm missing?
2) Has anyone setup an ldap server to allow users to maintain their own
private personal addr. books? If so, how is this done? Does a seperate
directory need to be created for each user? Any examples would be greatly
appreciated.
TIA,
