Anyone familiar with SFU out there?

 

At least half of my users do not have SFU attributes.  I now have the need to create “NIS” accounts for all of them.  Besides hitting the properties of each user and enabling them for NIS what other options do I have?  I do happen to have the means to generate a passwd file with autogenerated UIDs for all the users without SFU attribs.  So…

 

-          ldif import?  I don’t think that info will ever make it to the passwd map

-          NIS2AD.exe?  Not sure if this is for creating new maps or if it can be used to merge or add map entries

-          (actually tested) nismap.exe –e “line from passwd” –r yes nisdomainname passwd

 

The last one adds the SFU attributes, but disables the account.  I figure I can follow that up with a one liner to re-enable the account.  The only other concern is the msSFUPassword.  Obviously I’m not going to put folks’ passwords in the import file. 

 

Any other ideas?
