It depends on what you're looking for in a White Pages.

The White Pages part of Andrew isn't hard to get running by itself, but
it doesn't interoperate with the ISODE-based stuff.  They serve totally
different goals.  Andrew's WP, loosely, is meant to replace the local
/etc/passwd and /usr/lib/aliases, as well as supporting fuzzy name
lookup and the like.  As I understand the ISODE-based stuff, it's meant
for locating individuals that may be at any of many
separately-administered locations.
