HTH,
enc.
You can also do
Code:
LIST=$(< mylist)
LOCATION=/some/location
cp $LIST $LOCATION

But for 3000 files, might run into a very long argument list which may make cp to fail.

inityp2l

inityp2l(1M)						  System Administration Commands					      inityp2l(1M)

NAME

       inityp2l - create NIS (YP) to LDAP configuration files

SYNOPSIS

       /usr/lib/netsvc/yp/inityp2l [-m mapping_file_name] [-c config_file_name]

DESCRIPTION

       The  inityp2l  utility  assists with creation of the NISLDAPmapping and ypserv files. See NISLDAPmapping(4) andypserv(4). inityp2l examines
       the NIS maps on a system. and through a dialogue with the user,	determines  which  NIS	to  (and  from)  LDAP  mappings  are  required.  A
       NISLDAPmapping  file  is  then created based on this information. The utility asks users about their LDAP server configuration and a ypserv
       file is created based on this information.

       The inityp2l utility handles mappings for standard NIS maps and the auto.* series of maps. If requested, it creates  default  mappings  for
       custom  maps,  with each map entry represented as a single DIT string. inityp2l does not handle full custom mapping, but if requested, ini-
       typ2l will insert comments into the NISLDAPmapping file that indicate where these should be added.

       To write to the NISLDAPmapping or ypserv files is potentially dangerous. inityp2l warns the user and asks for confirmation before:

       1.  it overwrites either file

       2.  it writes to the default NISLDAPmapping file location, if this file did not previously exist. This is important because  the  existence
	   of  a  file	in this location causes NIS components to work NIS to LDAP (N2L)  mode when next restarted, rather than to traditional NIS
	   mode.

       inityp2l assists with rapid creation of a simple N2L configuration files. It is not a general purpose tool for the      management of these
       files.  An advanced user who would like to maintain the files or use custom mappings should examine the output of inityp2l and customize it
       by using a standard text editor.

OPTIONS

       inityp2l supports the following options:

       -c	Specify the name of the generated ypserv file. The default location is	described in FILES.

       -m	Specify the name of the generated NISLDAPmapping file. The default is described in FILES.

FILES

       /var/yp			       The directory to be searched for candidate domains (/var/yp/*) and NIS maps (/var/yp/*/*)

       /var/yp/NISLDAPmapping	       The default location for the generated NISLDAPmapping file

       /etc/default/ypserv	       The default location for the generated ypserv file
