The most current release of ldap-utils, is version 0.3 pre-alpha. This version includes luauseradd, luauserdel, luausermod, luaid, luagroupadd, and the luagroupdel applications.

Notes:

The default installation path is /usr/local/sbin for the ldap-utils applications, and /usr/local/etc for the configuration file lua.conf. It is important to note that lua.conf must be configured before using these applications. Most of the default values are suitable for most uses, however the values for host, suffix, and rootdn, must be configured for your ldap directory server. For more information on appropriate values for the configuration file please consult the slapd.conf, ldap.conf, as well as the other ldap and shadow-utils man pages. Since the interfaces are similar to those of the shadow-utils package it is advisable to refer to the man page of the matching application for information on command line options.
