using michaël's filter, you could try this:
ldapsearch [options] '(&(ou:dn:=people)(!(ou=system))(!(displayName=*)))'
cn | awk '
/^dn:/ {
print
print "changetype: modify"
print "replace: displayName"
next
}
/^cn:/ {
sub(/^cn/, "displayName")
}
{ print }
' | ldapmodify [options]
we aren't doing your homework, are we? :-)
