This is to announce that I solved the problem that I created for myself in
the first place.

{crypt} in OpenLDAP means that it will use the crypt(3) function to work
on the passwords. This is in the FAQ. This means that OpenLDAP must be on
the same machine that the passwords were created on because crypt() is
quite system dependent (daw).
In my case I shouldn't have bothered making the perl script put {md5}
because {crypt} is correct. Like with /etc/{passwd,shadow}, if it sees
"$1$" it will do crypt-MD5 as you previously mentioned.
So we don't need to redo everyone's passwords. I just have to re-do the
LDIF to update the database. BWAHAHAHAHA!!!
