Hi,
It is perfectly possible to insert data in to a slapd database as a non-root
user. But using migrate_all_online.sh as a non root user when shadow passwords
are used leads to the UserPassword field being {CRYPT}x for all users (as this
is the contents of /etc/passwd.
Pleas consider adding this patch so that this behaviour is at least documented,
or better detect this case and try to handle it, or give an error to the user.

Thank you for your bugreport, and for the patch. And sorry for my
insane lack of response :-(
The patch has been included in the latest release of the package.
Kind regards,
