At the time I did the initial import here, I put together a really ugly
shell script that used a few cuts, greps and/or seds against the passwd
and shadow files to build an LDIF, and then dumped it in with an
ldapmodify command.
It's actually easier than it sounds once you're familiar with the
posixAccount schema and which passwd attribute maps to which LDAP
attribute.
I only have eight or ten users who need accounts initially, we may
just have them enter their passwords by hand...
Incidentally I did try the openldap migrate_all_online.sh script that
is recommended here:
http://directory.fedoraproject.org/wiki/Howto:MigrateToLDAP
But it failed with a SASL error. I suppose that might be due to my
not having ssl setup?
