Nothing like accidentally lying to aid people on mailing lists.  getent
doesn't return the correct data.  While the info is base64 encoded for the
userPassword field, it isn't for the onePassword field, so you end up with:

userPassword:: 98wklfnsdlkfjsldf=
onePassword: {crypt}10ksdfkjh

Now even if I specify in the LDIF

onePassword:: 98wklfnsdlkfjsldf=

when I do an ldapsearch/getent it still returns:

onePassword: {crypt}10ksdfkjh

Suggestions?
