MS Outlook address books (NOT Re: State Threads)

Look at ldap-abook.sourceforge.net, or rolodap (sorry, you have to look that one up.)

The schema that go with ldap-abook work with both netscape and outlook. Rolodap supposedly does the same thing; it can manage users and has abunch of relaly neat features, none of which I needed so I did not mess with it.

i'm trying to create an addressbook in ldap that outlook express can
understand.
to that end i specified the lines below in my slapd.conf
now how do i add entries?? how do i create a microsoft address tree?
so basically i have
dc=dino,dc=com
and then directly underneath that i have cn's of users
but i want to make du=microsoftaddressbook,dc=dino,dc=com
or some such name as above and put user info underneath that tree..
how do i create the above folder
and how do i add users?/?
particularly what do i specify in the objectclass attribute and should i
specify a cn=Bob Dole objectclass=microsoftaddressbook
and then fill in all the fields???
