A Call for help:

It’s possible to add users from directory structure 1 (in this case an openLDAP implementation that’s sharing our University’s Novell eDirectory) into an OpenDirectory group (directory structure 2). I can do this on server 10.4 easily using the Workgroup Manager GUI. But doing it for hundreds of students every year is… well, I don’t have the time to do that, either in terms of deadlines or workload, quite frankly.

The information contains users grouped both by groups and containers, but it’s an old gripe that Workgroup Manager won’t show you anything but a flat list of users. There’s a group tab there, but it doesn’t seem to work for me. Also, I don’t have direct access to edit the data or create groups on 1, and the users are already correctly organised by container.

So, can anyone out there tell me if it’s possible? I don’t mind getting my hands dirty on the command line, and if Leopard is needed I had to order it this week anyway…
