Interestingly, the LDAP server gives back, using ldapsearch

This is a base64 representation of a old crypt hash "AC99yF0aYSY6c" (which is a hash of the password 'sftptest')

When using a system user, I have this:

# getent shadow|grep -i ftptest ftptest:ACJJox72N4DZQ:14740::99999:7:::

This is also an old crypt hash (which is a hash of the password 'ftptest') Presumably both test passwords match their username, so they are for different usernames. Not sure why both have the same salt? regards, Glenn
