hehe. how does rsync let you sync up to LDAP?
A simple shell script could work like:
#!/bin/sh
HOSTDN="dc=myhost,ou=Devices,dc=domain,dc=tld"
TMPFILE=/tmp/mod.ldif
echo "dn: $HOSTDN" > $TMPFILE
echo "changetype: modify" >> $TMPFILE
echo "replace: locals" >> $TMPFILE
for i in $(cat /var/qmail/control/locals)
do
echo "locals: $i" >> $TMPFILE
done
echo "-" >> $TMPFILE
echo "replace: rcpthosts" >> $TMPFILE
for i in $(cat /var/qmail/control/rcpthosts)
do
echo "rcpthosts: $i" >> $TMPFILE
done
# eof
and then sync up to LDAP based on local system values. If there is some
other way you're modifying the LDAP entries, you'll need to pull them
down. But then, you could ask the question: why aren't you updating LDAP
using that method?
d!
