Dawn - addressbook converter

[George Toft]

Looking at the ldif of my addressbook, it looks to me like the
dn is the cn concatenated with mail attribute.  It seems
like they are treating mail like an o or an ou.

That being the case, try doing a global search and replace
(or sed) and change ",mail=" to ", ou=" and see what
happens on your import.
