Try the Migration Tools from PADL software (they are also the creators
of the nss_ldap and pam_ldap modules):

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

You first have to edit migrate_base.pl for your organization's naming
context. The scripts migrate_passwd.pl, migrate_group.pl,
migrate_aliases.pl, etc., will do what their names suggest. They output
in ldif format to standard output, so you can tweak the results before
importing into your DS server.

After importing my existing users, I wrote my own script for new user
creation that generates the ldif stuff.
