It should not be that big a deal. You can see all users using niscat passwd and all groups using niscat group, as I recall, and form them into ldap user and group adds. You can process the niscat into command lines in a script using awk or sed or the glabal find and replace of any text editor or word processor. I would be surprised if there were not tools to automate this process, but it should not be a big deal. Probably wise to do groups before the users that depend on them. Then you can remove the nic from the system configuration and the ldap should perform the same function. Make a test ldap-only user and group to ensure ldap is working, and leave a test nis-only user and group to test that nis is turned off. Welcome to UNIX, a stream of text world within a gui world.

sss_usermod

SSS_USERMOD(8)							 SSSD Manual pages						    SSS_USERMOD(8)

NAME

       sss_usermod - modify a user account

SYNOPSIS

       sss_usermod [options] LOGIN

DESCRIPTION

       sss_usermod modifies the account specified by LOGIN to reflect the changes that are specified on the command line.

OPTIONS

       -c,--gecos COMMENT
	   Any text string describing the user. Often used as the field for the user's full name.

       -h,--home HOME_DIR
	   The home directory of the user account.

       -s,--shell SHELL
	   The user's login shell.

       -a,--append-group GROUPS

THE LOCAL DOMAIN

       In order to function correctly, a domain with "id_provider=local" must be created and the SSSD must be running.

       The administrator might want to use the SSSD local users instead of traditional UNIX users in cases where the group nesting (see
       sss_groupadd(8)) is needed. The local users are also useful for testing and development of the SSSD without having to deploy a full remote
       server. The sss_user* and sss_group* tools use a local LDB storage to store users and groups.
