Hi all, I've been using an ldap directory for quite a while now for my network logins, and love it. Problem is, it can be quite cumbersome to work with, any ldap clients I have looked at are either very sketchy or overly cumbersome for simple tasks (adding/removing users etc.), and ldif file format is a major pain to work with.
My first question is - is anyone aware of a good light and stable ldap client that is easy to setup and use. My own research suggests no, which leads onto my proposal - I'm planning on writing a few basic scripts for working with the system - a 'ldap_adduser', 'ldap_rmuser' etc. Nothing major, not a full suite of utilities, just the basics to make life a little easier. I've had a look at the adduser script and it should be straight forward enough to tailer to this purpose, and I can't see any difficulties in writing them - check /etc/ldap.conf for the location of the users & groups, pops the details into an ldif and runs it through the ldap client. The one thing I am not sure about is getting the next available uid number, but I'm sure the answer will become apparent. So before I get into the meat of this, I wanted to check if anyone has any suggestions or comments.
