At the time I did the initial import here, I put together a really ugly
shell script that used a few cuts, greps and/or seds against the passwd 
and shadow files to build an LDIF, and then dumped it in with an
ldapmodify command.

It's actually easier than it sounds once you're familiar with the
posixAccount schema and which passwd attribute maps to which LDAP
attribute.
