Fedora directory users - May 2006 - UserPassword value in backend?

Hai,
  How the value of ''userpassword'' is stored in the
database(BDB)?
  I added an entry by specifying the following attributes,

dn: uid=exuser,ou=People, dc=example,dc=com
uid: exuser
uid: 100
givenName: exuser
userPassword: exuser123
objectClass: top
objectClass: person
objectClass: organizationalPerson
objectClass: inetorgperson
cn: exuser
sn: exuser

The user is added to the database succefully.I can able to see the 
encrypted password while retrieving it (but i am adding it using the clear 
text format).

  I want to know how the password is actually stored in the database?

  Pls advice me.

The hashed value is stored (much the same as /etc/passwd).
You can dump the database using db_dump -p (get the right version
for the version of BDB used in your FDS). The primary index is
the file id2entry.db4. That''ll show you exactly what''s stored.
