Here's a little keynote presentation I threw together that reviews some of the many command-line tools for working with Directory Services. Many of the ds8, slap*, ldap*, and k* commands are detailed, as well as procedures for importing & exporting keytabs, and binding to an OD master with the command line.

It is by no means thorough or all-inclusive but it's a good start.

If you don't ave Keynote, you can still view these slides in Leopard with QuickLook, or import them into PowerPoint.
