And I began to think how to do it with sed/awk from the ldapsearch query :)

Indeed, it is perhaps easier to do getent and then transfer the 
resulting files.
But then it's the "push" method, not pull (when I want exactly).
Perhaps I could use ssh keys to pull the data when I want from a central 
server, but I'm not sure if it wouldn't be a unnecessary security risk.


Good, I have some options, now I need to evaluate them.
