I was wondering why they needed to have different ldappasswd when one
has capability of serving the purpose. Of course, I see mozldap's
ldappasswd has more available switches. When I had tested these
commands to change password, both worked fine, so I started wondering
why would they have two different ldappasswd but again I don't want to
know history and more details at this time..Rich's answer helped.

Thanks,
