LDAP is a real cool protocol offering a hierarchial directory like
facility. You can store anything in that directory, from user accounts,
to your GPG keys to address book to email aliases, anything for which
you're able to write a schema. You'll enjoy working with it :)

Install OpenLDAP server (openldap23-{server,client} or openldap24-{server,c=
lient})
=66rom FreeBSD ports. And follow administrator's guide[1] to setup your
LDAP server. The "Building an OpenLDAP address book" article [2] at
ONLamp will guide you with setting up address book with OpenLDAP.
And you'll also like to try out phpldapadmin for managing LDAP directory
over web :) .
