UserTools v0.4 (beta)

UserTools is a set of utilities for managing user account
information that is stored in LDAP according to RFC2307. 
The suite consists of 8 tools that are used for account management.
They are:

groupcreate -- used to create groups
groupmodify -- modifys a group
groupsearch -- locates a group by gid, group name, or custom field
usercreate -- creates users one at a time, or from a passwd file
userdelete -- removes a user from LDAP
usermodify -- modifys a user
userrevert -- sets a users password to a random string, assigns default shell
usersearch -- locates a user by uid, username, or custom field

Currently all scripts are interactive. Command line options will be 
added in the next version.
