Good morning, Mike.

Hmmm ... None of that seems to be working.  I have tried "use_shares" set 
to true, false, and commented out, and also logged in as admin and set all 
permissions to my address book for everybody.  Still, none of the other 
users can see it.

I also can't find a way to add new address books from the GUI.  Is that 
something that requires editing the php files?

Also haven't yet found a way for a user to change his password.  The 
superuser can change everybody's password, but I haven't found a way for 
users to change their own.
