Administrators can use the programs /usr/sbin/luseradd, /usr/sbin/luserdel, and /usr/sbin/lusermod to add, delete, and modify users from the directory. There is also a more-friendly(??) program for adding users: /usr/local/bin/adduser-npg, however it requires that the above programs and more be accessible via the PATH environmental variable (root has the appropriate path set up, but neither sudo nor su will use that path, so it's necessary to either log in as root directly, or modify the env).

This is currently broken!! The easiest way at the moment is to add the user by hand to LDAP using some gui like Luma or JXplorer.
