using michaël's filter, you could try this:

ldapsearch [options] '(&(ou:dn:=people)(!(ou=system))(!(displayName=*)))' cn | awk ' /^dn:/ { print print "changetype: modify" print "replace: displayName" next } /^cn:/ { sub(/^cn/, "displayName") } { print } ' | ldapmodify [options]

we aren't doing your homework, are we? :-)

Danger, Will Robinson! This will only work for dn values that aren't encoded. That's a trivial job for perl or python (or whatever). AWK operates on character streams and that's a bad fit for LDIF.
