Hi list
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.

Hi
Thanks for replying.
I have been looking at this one, I have only 2 problems with it:
1. Generate Nis maps I believe that this should be the command nismap create -i 1 -g " " -y auto.master but i am unsure if this is correct for my exercise since I need to generate for multiple ou, could someone please give an example?
2. it says on the migration tool that I need to change the $NSHOME and $serverId to make it compatible to the Netscape but do I have been looking around I still can not find where these variabels are declared, does anyone have a clue or some experience with these script?
Kind regards Per Qvindesland
