I actually am not planning on copying any of my LDAP database. My plans were to setup a totally new server, move the home directories over and add my users through my batch perl script. I want to start everything out fresh. The students don't keep files over from year to year and there are only about 70-100 teachers so re-adding the users will not be that big of a deal. I just export the students out of our student records program and then into my batch perl script to have them created. I am actually going to be using a different naming routine for users so the old ldap db would not be what I wanted anyways.
