Thank you for your reply, I have already installed openldap23-server
and client, I still have to configure it and create the address book.
could you please take a look at the this guide[1] before I start
walking throught it, it seems kinda complete for an Addressbook
installation.

Also Do you by any chance use mutt with LDAP, if yes how did you do
that?
