im very new to openldap so im not quite sure how to set it up, i can just emerge it and then start adding people? and also, is there a file i can edit and put all of them in there or do i have to run that command every time i want to add someone? also what about a gui frontend for adding people? is there one? perhaps that i can access remotely as well? sorry for all the questions.
You can use commands or something else - it's your choise. You can try emerge ldapbrowser for GUI.
You need to authenticate in LDAP to modify entries because You need no anybody able to do this. As MySQL uses its database to differentiate access, so LDAP does - you need to authenticate with LDAP server to work with it, but You can use directory for whatever You want/can.
PS. What did You mean "global address list"? Address of what?
