This should be in Turba's menu bar under a "My Address Books" icon.   
The icon will only be there if you have shares enabled in a supported  
source, like sql.  If the create address book option is not there,  
make sure you have entered an appropriate value in turba's  
configuration for the source to use when creating new shares value.   
If you use the 'out of the box' localsql example source, then this  
value should be set to localsql.

The horde passwd app.
