A local LDAP server isn't too hard to set up, really. The problem is that
most clients utterly lack support for writing to it. Evolution can do it,
but it wants to use a custom LDAP schema that reduces the utility of that
ability somewhat. Mozilla AFAIK still can't write to LDAP (but can export
LDIF, so you can do things that way).

I use an LDAP address book with Evolution and I find it works fairly well.
I'm using OpenLDAP for the server, with the Evo schema installed.
