The best way in my opinion is to generate template using migration tools.
Then when you want to add new user use sed to modify it and pipe result to
ldapmodify or target it with -a option in ldapadd command. New passwords
you can generate using slappasswd or ldappasswd (after user is added to
ldap). Please rea man pages of this commands. Slappasswd is part of
openldap-severs.

You could use echo to write the same content to ldif file but is this a big
diference? If you prefer using echo this way is still good because you will
get example user ldif.

Greg.
