Subject: Setting up a global addressbook.

I am (by default) the PINE administrator.  I've compiled PINE 3.91 and have
made it available for our users to use.  I'd like to know how I can set up a
global addressbook, which will be looked at by any user, whenever they want to.
Can this global addressbook be looked at by PINE at the same time that it looks
at the user's local addressbook?

This is all to take place on UNIX.

You can set it up by making it one of the regular address books of some
user, maybe root.  That user will be able to change it and so on.  Other
people can have it as one of the global-addressbooks and it will be read
only for them.  All the address books are looked at.  You don't want to
change the global address book too often when people are actually using
it, since it will confuse their pines, which will attempt to recover...
