The LDAP resource is writeable only in KDE 3.3, any versions before 3.3 
has read-only LDAP.

Yes, this is a bit confusing, the LDAP resource settings are totally 
independent from what you set up in KAddressBook. This will be resolved 
in a future version, however I cannot tell you when.
Now, if you don't have a lot of LDAP entries (>2-3 thousands), use the 
LDAP resource, otherwise use only the KAddressBook LDAP access.
If you use the KAddressBook way, you will not see the users in the list 
boxes, but the address autocompletion will work.

Bye,
