LDAP- slapadd doesn't import userPassword field correctly

[Jurvis LaSalle <lasalle bard edu>]

Hello Everybody,

	I'm trying to setup ldap authentication following the chapter in the 
RHEL 4 reference guide.  I've setup slapd.conf and used the padl 
migration scripts to dump /etc/passwd and kin into ldif format.  
viewing the passwd.ldif file I dumped, I can see all the right info is 
there, specifically UID, home dir and password hash.  after slapadd-ing 
-l passwd.ldif and then slapcat-ting the result, everything matches 
except for the userPassword field.  Instead of matching the users hash, 
the userPassword field is the same string for all users.  What have I 
done wrong and how can I fix it?  Any clues/ further information that I 
can provide?

yaiga,
JL
