perl -MMIME::Base64 -e 'print decode_base64("e01ENX1TQ3lCSGFYVnRM
eHRTWC82bUVrZU9BPT0="). "\n";'
Yields:
{MD5}SCyBHaXVtLxtSX/6mEkeOA==

The :: (double colon) implies a base64-encoded value.

I'm using slapcat to make nightly backups of my LDAP directory, but I
seem to be having some problems with exporting the userPassword
attribute.

slapcat prints:
    userPassword:: e01ENX1TQ3lCSGFYVnRMeHRTWC82bUVrZU9BPT0=
instead of
    userPassword: {MD5}SCyBHaXVtLxtSX/6mEkeOA==

Is slapcat improperly exporting this attribute?  I'm using slapd
2.2.23 on Debian 3.1.

Thanks,
Victor
