Subject: [Hampshire] Easy user management in LDAP

Hi all,

I'm in the process of building a new home server, and rather
than go down the route of having each service (mail, IM, web etc)
use it's own user directory was thinking of using OpenLDAP.

However, I can't find any easy way of setting up and configuring
OpenLDAP as a simple user directory. Does anyone know of any
good tools that will allow this?

What I really want to be able to do, is simply do the equivalent
of "useradd fred ..." in OpenLDAP, without having to worry about
LDAP schemas and the like. I don't mind configuring the server
initially, but want the user management procedures themselves
(add/list/delete/edit) to be nice and simple.

I'm on Gentoo, would prefer a command line interface but if it
is a GUI tool then KDE would be preferred.

Cheers.
