userpassword encode/hash

[John Wagner <azentropy@gmail.com>]

Hi All,

I've been wonder if you all could give me a brief on why OpenLDAP
slapd doesn't automatically encode/hash userpasswords - or at least
have the option?

I've wrote a few modifcations the slapd including a simple
patch/modification to modify.c that will encode/hash the userpassword
attribute when a mod is done.  It also checks to make sure that it
isn't already encoded if it is it doesn't encode again.

Any interest?  Am I missing something?
