functions/addressbook.php

Now you have
----
    /* This would be for the global addressbook */
    if (isset($address_book_global_filename)) {
        $r = $abook->add_backend('global_file');
        if (!$r && $showerr) {
            echo _("Error initializing global addressbook.");
            exit;
        }
    }
-----

Change it to
-----
    /* This would be for the global addressbook */
    if (isset($address_book_global_filename)) {
        $r = $abook->add_backend('global_file');
        if (!$r && $showerr) {
            echo _("Error initializing global addressbook.");
            exit;
        }
    }

    $abook_shared="$data_dir/abook_shared";
    if (file_exists($abook_shared)) {
        $r = $abook->add_backend('local_file',
                                Array('filename' => $abook_shared,
                                'create' => 'false',
                                'name' => _("Shared contacts")));
        if (!$r && $showerr) {
            echo _("Error initializing shared contacts addressbook.");
            exit;
        }
    }

You can increase speed by removing file_exists call (and closing braket).

Also modify functions/abook_local_file.php
----
    /* Constructor */
    function abook_local_file($param) {
        $this->sname = _("Personal address book");
        $this->umask = Umask();
----

to
----
    /* Constructor */
    function abook_local_file($param) {
        if (isset($this->name)) {
            $this->sname = $this->name;
        } else {
            $this->sname = _("Personal address book");
        }
        $this->umask = Umask();

Attached patch against vanilla SM 1.4.1.

Second global address book adds two strings that won't be translated to
other languages if you don't update your squirrelmail translations.
Address book is stored in $datadir/abook_shared ($abook_shared variable).
Now you have two read-only global address books: "Global address book" and
"Shared contacts"
