address info / ldap question

[Matthew Carpenter]

I had recently made the commitment for the same.
I'm simply searching for the best (simple and compatible) way to maintain
these.
I DEFINITELY don't want to be typing in everything from scratch (including all
the LDAP fields) so I'm looking at a few web front-ends for LDAP.

In my opinion, OpenLDAP is the way to go.  I'm only hoping to find something
that makes it as easy as Novell makes NDS.
