SUMMARY: Sol9 / LDAP / importing user info

Everybody who wasn't away from their office pointed out that I should be
using ldapaddent.

I also found Sun Document ID 67966 which while not exactly addressing my
problem did provide some useful pointers.

Of course, the Solaris 9 System Administration Guide: Naming and Network
Directory Services (DNS, NIS and LDAP) is also useful.

My big mistake was starting with the LDAP documents in Sun's BluePrints
Collection.

Thanks,
