How can I share AdressBook data over network?

[eric halfabee]

We have a small network of 9 Macs and we need to share AddressBook info across that network.

In the past with OS 9 and using the Address Book app buy Jim Smith. BTW, his web site (www.jimsmithsoft.com ) is now a penis enlargement site !!.

Anyway we used to make take the data file that was kept on one Mac and make an alias on the other Macs (which each had a proper version of the software). So that when one person added an address everyones addresses got updated etc.

My question is how can I do the same in OS X with Apple's AddressBook?

I tried using an alias from one Macs AddressBook folder in the Application Support folder to mine, but the app kept quitting on startup (I made a backup first).

If its possible and easy...ish that will mean that we can switch to OS X for good or at least for 95% of the time.

Thanks in advance

see if you can find something in ldap.

If you have mac os x server - problem solved, you might have a few problems finding a a ldap server for os x, but that is probably what you want
