Re: [Evolution] LDAP contact updates?

[Chris Toshok <toshok ximian com>]

You need to be authenticating with the ldap server.  Unfortunately
there's no way (that I know of at least, someone *please* correct me if
I'm wrong) to find out read/write permissions per entry portably..  So
evolution just assumes you need to auth to write.
