A. You can't SYNC an Ent database:
Well, does Mark Space's SyncTogether product work to do it?
Does Apple's SyncServices work to do it?

Perhaps they are calling rewriting the database as syncing. I don't use Mark
Space products so can't reply.

B. How about utilizing the Users > Shared folder:

I know for testing purposes if I move my Microsoft User Data folder to
Shared then open in a new User if I drag the Microsoft User Data folder to
the new User it copies it. I've never tried to alias it from Shared. Why not
try it yourself and report back.

Frankly, the entire concept of having different users share the same
Identity just seems convoluted.

Has anyone really tried to "share" Entourage via the Shared Folder and
determined conclusively that it won't work?

No one has mentioned this on the newsgroup.

At this point, I'm more tempted to completely remove my Standard User
account and just use the Admin User account for myself on a daily
basis (and have the guest account for any others).

That sounds more like a user friendly approach. If you are concerned, just
log out of your account and set it so you have to have a password to open.
