[Fedora-directory-users] PassSync only working one way

UnicodePwd has to be little-endian unicode and with quotes around it.  
You can do something like...

echo \"Secret12\" > pass.txt
iconv -t UNICODELITTLE -o unicodepass.txt pass.txt

And then base64 encode unicodepass.txt and use the result for unicodePwd 
value.

I got the details from http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=269190 originally.
