I don't think you can modify entries w/ Netscape's Addressbook.  Just
view them.  The username/password in Netscape would be needed if you're
not allowing anonymous read access to your ldap server.

In Netscape, your Server Root would be the same as your suffix.

A tool I use for modifying is a gtk client called gq:

works pretty well.
