There are a few ldap enabled 'useradd' or 'adduser' scripts floating around as well as conversion scripts that you could retrofit for your needs, or just take some time to learn how to do the above with a shell script that accept a csv list of users. It shouldn't really be all more time consuming that adding those users with traditional methods. Think of an ldap server as an easily scriptable database interface. -- Dan White
