Does anyone know of a way to move users from a local netinfo database

I was told by tech support to use workgroup manager to dump the
netinfo database and then import them into ldap but that I would lose
the user password information. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.
I usually script an nidump into an ldif.
Might also try turning on the ldap server to share out the local nidb
(see the default slapd.conf before you create the master) and grab an
ldif of that using ldapsearch.
I've been meaning to test.
Either way, the users are already password server users (unless the
accts were upgraded from 10.1 or in some cases 10.2) so all that's
really necessary is to preserver their auth authorities.
