LDAP schema for use with email directory

stig

I'm having a bit trouble understanding how this really works. The thing I'm trying to get up running, is a shared email directory which may be added in some email client as a directory service.
I've got openLDAP up running, but I'm having trouble adding new entries in the database. The schemas included by openLDAP are huge and probably more advanced than I need. The only thing I'm after, is a plain
name - telephone - address - email list. Does someone have a schema for this, or maybe give me a litte help regarding how I write one?

Btw...is it possible to add users who does not have an account on any network at all, or is the LDAP-service closely attached to useraccouts on the computer?

hi,

you don't have to create your own schema for such a use.

the organizationalPerso and person classes should be what you're searching for.

A person don't need a system account to have an account in a LDAP directory. LDAP has no association with /etc/passwd, but you can replace /etc/passwd with an LDAP directory, so everybody with an LDAP entry automatically has a system account (I'm using this here).
