for one off's an easy way is to use an ldap browser client.  i know that
with the java ldap browser (at http://www.iit.edu/~gawojar/ldap/) when you
view the userPassword attribute it shows it in the standard
"{crypt}blahblah" format.

it should be published in the openldap docs or an rfc what the actual
encoding method for this information is.
