add in case of another newbie like me ;-) here is the step i took
- On the export page select the appropriate dn and select Sub (entire
subtree) and select save as file
- Open the file with ur favorite editor(in my case gedit) and edit the
appropriate field in my case i needed to remove a character on some emails
and also change some gidnumber(a search and replace all resolved that)
- Before importing the file, delete the particular entire dn and sub tree.
(this is important else there be already exist error)
