Use ldapmodify with an LDIF like:

dn: uid=userA,ou=groupA,dc=mydomain,dc=com
changetype: delete

dn: uid=userB,ou=groupA,dc=mydomain,dc=com
changetype: delete

dn: uid=userC,ou=groupA,dc=mydomain,dc=com
changetype: delete

....etc.

Hope that helps. Also hope that Kurt or whoever don't block me from the 
mailing list anymore without at least telling me why.
