What are your ACLs? If they allow reading the userPassword attribute for 
groups, you'll see the values as expected.

See RFC 2849. Base64 encoding isn't garbling. It's very common for data 
to be Base64 encoded when output as LDIF. The specific criteria is 
unclear (to me), but you can expect some text fields to be encoded. Look 
for the double colons (::) after the attribute name to indicate that 
it's encoded.

Boy was I confused for a second. At least one Adam Williams knows this 
all well I'm sure;)
