The easiest way to do this is obviously to run a OSX/OD/iCal Server
combination instead of DCS! :-). Using non-OD directory servers
though, it should be possible to add the required attributes to a
standard LDAP server (or AD for that matter), and bind to it using
Directory Utility as per the above procedure. We have not (yet)
begun testing on this at my site so this is as far as my knowledge
stretches at the moment. It is an important question though; we too
will most likely rely on existing LDAP/Linux-based directory
services for any site-wide calendar service.
Remember too that 10.5 Macs can use record augmentation to add
things like the servicelocator to the user accounts without the need
to modify the source directory service.

We're the M in RTFM.
Thanks Josh for the info; this could be really useful in a mixed
environment.

So, I gather that to do this one does not strictly need a
supplementary Open Directory server in addition to the primary
directory server? I.e. on a single client one could perform the
augments on /Local/Default/Config/ (and so on) instead?
(sorry for bordering on off-topic for this list perhaps)
