migrating from NIS to LDAP

[Xiaopong Tran <xtran@chuckwalla.com>]

This is  a newbie question.

How do you normally configured the directory to something equivalent
to a NIS database, when you migrate from NIS to LDAP?

For example, I have a list of users, and a list of groups. Some users
can be members of more than one group.

How do I define groups? using "groupOfNames", and so the "member"
attribute list all the members there? And about the users, do you
ususally define them as inetOrgPerson?

Thanks
