Okay, I think I understand.  You don't need to run your own SQL or LDAP
server, if you intend to use the publicly available LDAP servers on the
Internet.  These are read-only though, so your users won't have a way to
store their own address book entries.  You will still need to have LDAP
and/or SQL support in PHP though.

If you want your users to have their own address book entries, you should
probably run a SQL server.  Setting up MySQL is fairly simple, and it
won't add hardly any additional load to the server in a lightly used Turba
setup.
