Hmmm, I would use the LDAP migration tools to get accounts imported
first, and then the script will only modify existing accounts, and not
add accounts and miss some information you may want to add (which
ldap-migration adds for you).

Then most likely the DN you have specified in the top of the script (in
the $DN variable) either does not have write access to the entries, or
the password is incorrect.

mandrakesecure.net is unfortunately down at the moment, but the articles
there on LDAP/Samba are pretty good, and cover issues such as this.

Agreed.

I get this output:

But nothing actually gets added to LDAP.

I looked at the logs, and I didn't even see /attempts/ to add.  I saw
searches for existing information only.
