I haven't looked at lam, but RH already ship "libuser" that has the commands:

/usr/sbin/luser(add:mod:del)
/usr/sbin/lgroup(add:mod:del)

They are supposed to allow command line LDAP directory using tools with the
same syntax as the standard 'useradd' etc.

At one point libuser was buggy, but AFAIK patches got submitted that
cleaned it up.
