Red Hat Directory Server

[Chris St. Pierre]

For importing accounts, you will need one tool: Perl.  Net::LDAP is
sweet, and it's pretty trivial to slurp your /etc/passwd (or
/etc/nis/passwd, or whatever) into a Perl script and either dump it
straight to LDAP or into an LDIF file.  IIRC, there are even some
prewritten tools out there for doing it, but you'll probably want to
customize them.
