I don't know if this is what you want, but this is the meat of the shell
script I used to create the /etc/auto.home map from LDAP.  Home
directories in my environment don't change all that often so creating a
static map from the LDAP information gives slightly more speed and
higher reliability.

ldapsearch -x -s sub -S cn nisMapName=auto.home cn nisMapEntry | \
sed -e "s/`uname -n`:/:/" | \
awk '$1 == "cn:" { cn=$2 }
$1 == "nisMapEntry:" { printf "%-10s %s,rsize=8192,wsize=8192 %s\n", cn,
$2,$3 }' >> $tmpfile
