Fedora directory users - Jan 2008 - Replace userPassword using crypt()

Hi,
  I m writing a script to synchronize my user''s password inside LDAP
with a
unix passwd file. Is there a way to insert the crypt passwd inside the unix
passwd file directly into LDAP using ldapmodify userPassword:
{crypt}"whatever appears inside /etc/passwd" ?



dn:uid=roger,ou=abc.com,dc=foo,dc=com
givenName: rico
objectClass: top
                  person
                  organizationalPerson
                  inetorgperson
              sn: rico
              cn: rico
             uid: roger
    userPassword: {crypt}HU1bbqwvbXJUY
