I'm sure there is a way of cutting the login name and encrypted passwd from the /etc/shadow file and pasting the info to your new LDAP server, without need for decrypt the passwd, because the passwd is not meant to be decrypted.
Everyone here has been telling you that decrypting is one of those computationally hard problems, and you are wasting your time trying to solve your LDAP problem using the decrypting approach.

I am tasked to create a new server that does not need to query on the LDAP server but has the same credentials on the LDAP server. In order for me to do that, I need to see the user's account and password in cleartext and manually create it (useradd) in the new server and I'll create a script to sync passwords to LDAP. My only problem is that the password is encrypted and I dont know how to decrypt it so that's why I'm asking PLUG to help me if they know how to decrypt. Yes, I tried googling it too but no success on howto decrypt.
