Actually, if you have write privileges in that DN (i.e. not just
anonymously accessing the server), then supposedly any client can make
changes to it. The trick is, however, finding a client that will
actually _do_ something like that. Virtually all mail clients that I
have seen that can access an LDAP database do not allow you to add
entries (that includes Mozilla, Netscape, Thunderbird, and the current
stable version of Evolution).

Evolution currently has a bounty out on it's address book component to
provide LDAP writing capability for it, however, so we may soon see this
functionality in a future stable version.

If anyone knows of any other clients that can write, I'd be interested
to know -- we're trying to move to an LDAP backend for most of our
servers and other LDAP aware software, and having a client that is
capable would make the transition a little easier.
