The usual attribute for email addresses is "mail".
You may need to add another objectclass (like inetOrgPerson) to your objects in order for the mail attribute to be available.

Thanks for the reply.

I ran the scripts and was able to get all of the users imported into the Directory server.  The only question is how do I get their email address into the Directory of the passwd and shadow file information?

Thanks
Vince

Try the Migration Tools from PADL software (they are also the creators of the nss_ldap and pam_ldap modules):

http://www.padl.com/OSS/MigrationTools.html

You first have to edit migrate_base.pl for your organization's naming context. The scripts migrate_passwd.pl, migrate_group.pl, migrate_aliases.pl, etc., will do what their names suggest. They output in ldif format to standard output, so you can tweak the results before importing into your DS server.

After importing my existing users, I wrote my own script for new user creation that generates the ldif stuff.
