Then, change to a temporary directoty, and untar (tar xvzf) the MigrationTools you downloaded from Padl. Change to the MigrationTools directory, and edit the "migrate_common.pl" file to match your site. I used the extended schema, but commented out all the kerberos crap because I don't use kerberos (too hard, makes my head hurt, and can wait until later). Then, just run "./migrate_all_offline.pl" That takes about a minute to migrate 1500 users on my crappy gateway P2/350 file server. Then, start up the ldap server. On a SuSE system, that's "/sbin/init.d/ldap start".

To check it out, try running "ldapsearch uid=sauer" where you replace my username with yours. Try that on the server and the client(s). If you did everything alright, you should be up and running now.
