Hello,

        I’m planning a migration of Linux account data from /etc/ files to 
389-ds (or OpenLDAP/slapd, but for now I’m leaning toward 389-ds).

        I have a few questions that I hoped folks here might help with?

- What kinds of automation tools do folks use for creating/updating/removing 
dirsrv entries? I’m assuming there is something that abstracts over all of the 
actual schema details?

- What tools have folks used for migration of existing account data? I see a 
package of Perl scripts that some distros provide; is that about it?

- When creating a new posixAccount & posixGroup, how are UIDs and GIDs to be 
chosen? If I have 10,000 users, do I have to grab all 10,000 posixAccount and 
posixGroup entries to determine which is the next unused UID & GID, or is there 
some cleaner solution?

- Are there tools to facilitate race safety if, e.g., two concurrent queries 
try to create an account at  the same time?

- I see that OpenLDAP/slapd can embed a Perl interpreter or exec arbitrary 
commands to fulfill queries. Can 389-ds do something similar to implement 
dynamic query results?

        Thank you in advance!

cheers,
-Felipe Gasper
