The migration tools aren't too bad - you don't have to migrate everything if
you don't want to, you can just select the appropriate bits.

There is a bug in nss_ldap that I reported some time ago to them but there's
been no response.  If your program is connecting to your LDAP server instead
of some the remote machine you specified then you've hit the bug.

The Debian GNU/Linux version of finger (from potato at least) exhibits this
bug rather nicely.
