Is there an equivalent of a useradd for systems that are using LDAP user management? I know I can build an LDIF file and import it, but it is a bit of a pain to do it manually all the time.
You can try "libuser", it's available in CentOS 5 (yum install libuser) and apparently has support for LDAP.
"libuser" is an attempt to generalize the useradd/mod/del, groupadd/mod/del commands to work with generic backends. The implementation includes a module to work with an LDAP backend, I just don't know how functional/stable it is...
You can start by installing the package and having a look at /etc/libuser.conf, and at the commands luseradd, lgroupadd, ... (the same ones you already use, only with the "l" prefix.)
