Those help with getting the user data into ldap.  Unfortunately,
unless you store your passwords in ldap (not recommended) you
end up having to reset everyone's passwords for whatever new
system you use (kerberos in our case).  Also, it doesn't help
for generic user adds that happen later. :-/

Clones of the command line interfaces would be fabulous.  RPMs
of all that (including Net::LDAP, which for some reason, I can't
seem to find a Redhat RPM of) would be beyond expectation. :-)
