Entourage Identity Database question. Need assitance please.

Is it possible to share the Entourage Identity Database between to
seperate users in OS X?

Basically I have 2 users on a Mac, running OS X, that want to access
the same entourage database file(s) but want to maintain their
seperate OS X logins. They want to see the same calendar, contacts and
email that the other sees.

Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks
Paul

Not with Entourage X, but it looks like Entourage 2004 will let you do this:
http://www.macnn.com/news/22915

"Entourage [2004] offers several different views for organizing and tracking
information and allows information to be shared with other users. With a few
clicks, users can specify which data (e.g., emails, files, and/or contacts)
within the project can be shared. The easy-to-use service will utilize a
central server such as AppleShare file server, HTTP DAV file server, or an
iDisk to house a centrally located Entourage Database with the project's
associated files; it will automatically sync changes to tasks, notes, and
the calendar with all shared users and will allow users to "check in and
out" documents, providing a warning if modified files would overwrite more
recent versions on the server. "

Because the question regards two users sharing one computer, and because
only one user can be logged in at a time, wouldn't it work if the two users
were to place the Microsoft User Data location in a centrally-available
public location on the computer and then create aliases of the same name
inside each of their user Documents folders?
