nisMap

["Tony C. Wu" <tonywu@att.net.tw>]

Hi there,

I am trying to follow RFC 2307 (Using LDAP as a NIS) to migrate to LDAP
NIS. I also download both nss_ldap, pam_ldap and migrationtools from
padl.com.  (thank to you guys for clearing my doubts regarding the
differences between nss and pam).

My understanding is that, I have to create nisMap and related attributes
before I can insert entries into my ldap server. Is that right ?

Is there any tool to convert languages like the following to LDAP
attribute/objectclass format ? Or is there any website I can download
nisMap objectclass ?

        ( nisSchema.2.1 NAME 'shadowAccount' SUP top AUXILIARY
          DESC 'Additional attributes for shadow passwords'
          MUST uid
          MAY ( userPassword $ shadowLastChange $ shadowMin
                shadowMax $ shadowWarning $ shadowInactive $
                shadowExpire $ shadowFlag $ description ) )


Thank you for your helps,

Regards,
Tony Wu
