We had an agreement with bug submitter that I'll make
and test a similar setup.

I'm quite close for having working OpenLDAP setup at
work in our lab, but I think I'll need some assistance
and/or advice from Greg to do this.

Let's start ASAP then.

My first question is how to add users to OpenLDAP
comfortably (as with e.g. Debian's adduser tool) -- I
don't want to _migrate_ all users from passwd/shadow to
LDAP using padl. I merely want to have LDAP _parallel_
with "files" and NIS database.

I think I _can_ add users/groups by _manually_
importing .ldif files, but I'm too lazy for this hand
work. That's the only reason ATM why I still don't have
LDAP users in lab.
