Hi Ben,

This is particularly an apropos question for trilug right now since
we're in the process of moving our user infrastructure over to ldap.
Unfortunately, what I've seen at the moment is that there are no
standard programs to add users to an ldap setup.  However, there are a
bunch of home grown scripts you can find around.  We've got a few 
and are modifying them for our setup right now.  If you want, I
can look up a few pointers for you.
