This is a fairly trivial task... Here's a simple bash script that would achieve
your desired results, although I would recommend writing your own tool in a
more sophisticated language such as perl as this is hardly foolproof or
all-encompassing.
#!/bin/bash
SRCHOST='127.0.0.1'
DSTHOST='1.2.3.4'
SRCUSER='cn=read_user,o=org'
SRCPASS='source_password'
DSTUSER='cn=root_or_write_dn,o=org'
DSTPASS='write_password'
COPY='cn=dn_of_user_to_copy,o=org'
ATTR='userPassword'
LINE=$(ldapsearch -h $SRCHOST -D $SRCUSER -w $SRCPASS -x -b $COPY $ATTR |grep
"^$ATTR:")
ldapmodify -h $DSTHOST -D $DSTUSER -w $DSTPASS -x <<-EOF
dn: $COPY
replace: $ATTR
$LINE
EOF
