Migrating users to LDAP for authentication

[Jason Williams <jwilliams@courtesymortgage.com>]

Hello everyone.

Well, im back with another question. I was doing some reading on how to 
setup my LDAP server for user authentication. One thing I came across often 
was the recommendation to use www.padl.com migration scripts to move all of 
the data over to the LDAP server.

Couple questions:

1) The server I am working with is a test server. I only have two user 
accounts on the server at the moment. Would I still need to use the 
migration scripts to move over these two users? Or can I just use the 
authconfig utility (sorry, using RH 8.0 here) to specify the box to use 
LDAP for authentication?

2) Once I have the LDAP server setup for user authentication, is it pretty 
straightforward on setting up new users on the machine for LDAP authentication?

Thanks for everyones input.

Jason
