As Tim already mentioned, you do all password management using only LDAP
tools. The syntax for the userPassword attribute is an arbitrary cleartext
string. You just use ldapmodify to set it, and you don't use the saslpasswd
command any more since you don't use sasldb any more.

(The CVS HEAD contains patches to get ldappasswd working with this scheme as
well.)
