Re: Problem importing shadowAccount ldif file

["John Humphrey" <txkjohn@hotmail.com>]

I've checked the site you listed in your reply, but I'm still not clear on 
how to create a 'shadowAccount'. I'm running Linux 7.0 with shadow 
passwords. I need to create an LDAP entry for the accounts in '/etc/shadow' 
(or can I just create a posixAccount). For example, I have a user account 
for 'John Humphrey' with username 'johnh', uid of '500' and guid of '500', 
home directory of '/home/johnh', and a password of 'xx...xhash string'. Can 
someone please show me an example ldif file that imports this shadowAccount 
into the directory? I would be much appreciative.
