[Fedora-directory-users] Adding users after replacing NIS

[Oscar A. Valdez]

I've followed the instructions in Gerald Carter's "LDAP System
Administration", specifically those in Chapter 6: Replacing NIS.

I've used PADL's scripts to migrate the info
from /etc/passwd, /etc/shadow, and /etc/group into the DS server. My
question now is, how do I add new users to the DS, with the necessary
shadowAccount attributes? How do I generate the crypted userPassword,
shadowLastChange, etc. values?
