The man page for slappasswd says that encryption scheme names need to be protected due to "{". This is wrong usage: scheme names may need to be protected *by* "{"

Wrong. The manpage text is correct. The '{' and '}' are part of the scheme names. Since these are also meta-characters in common command shells, they may need to be protected from expansion.

This ITS will be closed.
