Fedora directory users - Feb 2006 - FDS & Novell Directory Server

Dear All,

I am trying to find a way to migrate away from the old NDS (based on
Novell 5.1) to other platforms and architectures. Is there a  way to
synchronise these two ?
Because in the meanwhile I shall have them both working in parallel,
until the migration is through.

Any links, howtos or advice is highly appreciated ?

Best Regards,

That should handle the one-off import from NDS to FDS.  You could
hack with it somewhat so that it read its input from a config file
rather than prompting you for input each time, and then you could
run it, say, every hour to keep your NDS in sync with your FDS.  It
should be able to sync the other way as well.  I have been meaning
to do that in my copious spare time (TM) but in the interim, patches
will be appreciated.

I have only tested this with NDS running on Linux, but it should be
the same with NDS running on Netware.
