Does anyone know if there is a simple way to import standard linux users into the directory server? I have found some but they don't seem to be so flexible since I have to import from several servers into different ou's

a good toolkit for doing this is here:

http://www.padl.com/OSS/MigrationTools.html

there's a config file which you modify to specify target LDAP server, base DN, and various other details for each import. one good way to use them is the following:

1. generate NIS maps (yes, i know, yuck) for the users you're importing. 2. run the PADL tools to generate a big LDIF of all the users. 3. import the generated LDIF.
