Thats a bunch of users. i don't have that many users the most i have on
one machine is approx 2,000.
Ldap is great in theory, but an ldap savy person with any ol ldap
client and get alot of ldap info, some you may not want them to see.
Ldap is somewhat a pain to manage. Apple has created an okay Gui, but
it is still laking imho.
I would try dumping your info to a file and import locally, not over
ssh.

I'm curious how other people are using their LDAP directories with
Panther Server. We're trying to move a lot of our services over to
authenticate against openLDAP. This would include email, vpn, ppp,
lab accounts, staff and faculty file sharing, etc... To do this we
are attempting to sync with a MS-SQL database that has all of our user
information (staff, faculty, students, alumni, etc...). It seemed
like a very simple process (ssh from the windows servers to the ldap
server and run dsimportexport with a 61,000 user import file).
Unfortunately, we only seem to get about 40,000 users.
All that to say, how are other people using LDAP? How many users are
you managing? Is anyone out there trying to do what we're doing (or
better yet, successfully doing this)?
