Sol9 / LDAP / importing user info

For a new Solaris 9 cluster project I want to use LDAP to manage the user
information. I've got the Sun 5.2 ldap server installed but now I'm stuck.

How do I import existing user information (in the form of /etc/passwd, group
and so on) into the ldap database?

I've been trying to use dsimport but with zero success - possibly related to
the fact that I can't find any current documentation for the utility (I've
got Tom Bialaski's Sun BluePrint from 2001 but it seems that things have
changed since then; no man page for dsimport is available in the 5.2 install.)

I'd really like an Idiots Guide to the process - understanding can come
later when there is time - but pointers to any current documentation for
dsimport would be welcome.

Thanks,
Summary will follow.
