[Fedora-directory-users] Migrating RHEL users to Directory Server

Fedora Directory Users, I have a bunch of users currently using local RHEL 4 local unix user accounts for their usernames and passwords and I would like to migrate them to Directory Server. My question concerns the MD5 sum password. I tried adding a user joeltest with password joeltest and I got hash: JqBiQXU4$gnJeKmNzXy.kaXUaBIygs0 from RHEL but I got hash: WGvQgGYUH2UOX2ZA1IQeyQ== I'm guessing this is to do with further encodings placed on the password hash. Hoping someone has done this before and can point me in the right direction? Thanks Joel The information contained in this e-mail message and any accompanying files is or may be confidential.
