[PLUG] passwd hash when using openldap

[Galen Seitz]

I've got a CentOS 5 machine running with openldap for authentication. 
  It's mostly working, but I'm puzzled as to why passwords are being 
saved in crypt form.  I used authconfig to select ldap and md5, yet 
when I use passwd to change a password the corresponding ldap entry 
looks like userPassword: {crypt}...  This is true regardless of 
whether root or a normal user changes the password.  Any ideas as to 
what I'm doing wrong?

Also, I'm still not clear on the distinction between /etc/ldap.conf 
and /etc/openldap/ldap.conf.

thanks,
galen
