Hi Gene

ldif is a standardized format to exchange data between LDAP servers

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/LDIF

you can import it into any LDAP server ( as long as it knows all required schemas )

every entry represents an object in the LDAP server ( including its attributes with their values )

though this is the fedora-directory mailing list, maybe the openldap quickstart helps you a little ( http://www.openldap.org/doc/admin24/quickstart.html )

regards

soeren
