Fedora directory users - Apr 2006 - Existing User Accounts

Hello all, 
 
I have the Directory server up and running.  My question is how to get
the user accounts from one of my servers into the directory?  I do not
have an existing ldap or nis server, we are using local systems account
creation and authentication.  I did a search through the archives but
wasn''t able to come up with anything.  Any insight would be very
helpful
and appreciated.
 
Thanks
Vince

Try the Migration Tools from PADL software (they are also the creators
of the nss_ldap and pam_ldap modules):

http://www.padl.com/OSS/MigrationTools.html

You first have to edit migrate_base.pl for your organization''s naming
context. The scripts migrate_passwd.pl, migrate_group.pl,
migrate_aliases.pl, etc., will do what their names suggest. They output
in ldif format to standard output, so you can tweak the results before
importing into your DS server.

After importing my existing users, I wrote my own script for new user
creation that generates the ldif stuff.
