how can you tell if md5 is in use

   I'm trying to get user passwords stored in md5 format in my OpenLDAP 
2.2.6 directory.  I changed by own password, then did a dump of the 
database via slapcat and looked at userPassword expecting to see 
somthing like {MD5}somestring.  It din't have {MD5} in front so I looked 
at userPassword via ldapsearch authenticating as the directory manager.  
It looked the same.  I then used slappasswd -h on the password with each 
hash type to see which one it matched.  I didn't match any.  I then 
changed my password again and again looked at it with both ldapsearch 
and slapcat.  The string was the same as before the change but the new 
password was definitely in effect as evidenced by failing to login with 
the previous value and succeeding with the new one.  How can I tell what 
hash format I'm using?
