Hi!

I'm a newbie at ldap and the problem I face now is that I have to add
certain attributes to already existing entries.
ie, right now I have a populated ou=People with 50+ users...and I want
to add the  samba attributes like "sambaHomePath:", "sambaHomeDrive:"
etc..etc..to these already existing users.
How do I proceed?

Is there a program/commandline way to add these attributes in a
"batch", in an automated way? (I would find it tedious to edit an ldif
file for every user)

Any help is appriciated.

First, you have to look for a schema that contains those attributes you 
like to add. You could write your own schema but there must already be 
something meeting your needs. Your ldap server must be able to work with 
that schema.

There's a ldap interface your almost every scripting or programming 
language. If you know perl I'd recommend that.

Cheers, Ben
