Who's doing a good job then?  :-)

Netscape 4.61 (communicator) lets you *search* LDAP databases but you cannot
under any circumstances add to it from your email client.  <sigh>  I've
given up and added a quick and dirty PHP-based entry sheet at
http://www.mixdown.org/ldap.  Source is available and free but it's hardly a
"polished" project.

I looked all over for a chunk of software that would add entries to a
directory "nicely" (i.e. so that the average user could use it) but couldn't
find a thing, so I designed one.
