I strongly encourage you to use a scripting language not only for 
user/group management but also for general server management.  If you 
are already familiar with a scripting language, inquire about LDAP 
support/modules. Most scripting languages have LDAP support (perl, ruby, 
python, tcl, etc.).  If you're not already familiar with any of these, I 
suggest using python and python-ldap.  It may seem daunting at first, 
but once you realize the power and flexibility you can achieve, you'll 
be glad you did, especially if you will be doing a lot of LDAP and 
related system administration work.
