Migrating AIX users to Linux

Hi all,

I was wondering if anyone out there knew if it was possible to migrate users from AIX to Linux.

What we want to do is install OpenLDAP on a Linux machine and port all the users over to LDAP. I've googled around and could only find a few things, such as mrgpwd - but that only comes with NIS as far as I know.

Suggestions are very much welcomed - thank you in advance!
