But the same 192 users have flat-file based user data and as soon as I switch over, all their data info will have to be reentered. So, (since they're all in LDAP-based users) I write a shell script (bash, Openldap tools, awk, sed) to cat their present settings, and mail them that on Sunday next, their SM data settings will be void and will have to be re-entered, "here are their present settings".

Anybody ever had to do this before and has a prescribed solution?
I remember somebody had wrote a perl script a while back to go through the prefs files, and convert them over. You might be able to search gmane to find the details. If you cannot track them down, let me know, and I'll see if I can knock together a quick script to handle it.
Hi Jonathan,
Daniel Drucker gave details of the script*s location. I downloaded it, but my Perl 5.8 barfs and gives all sorts of compile errors and my Perl skill ia seriously challenged.
I've attached the whole page I downloaded (obviously I deleted the non-relevant bits first :) If you could tidy it up and make it work, I'd be very grateful.
See my post on this thread today for how to fix that error you got. Didn't my post get thru?
