Sorry, I did not read your question carefully enough. I thought you
want to migrate from /etc/shadow to LDAP.

But the hint with {smd5} applys to your question too for further
investigation. Try to create a salted MD5-password in your LDAP
repository.

userPassword: {smd5}....

and then look if this works in your /etc/shadow.

Ciao, Michael.
