I have in my ldifs, whatever the way I do them (slapcat ldapsearch -LLL...) some strange entry, like if it was hashed.

Here is a sample: nisMapEntry:: LXJ3LHRjcCxpbnRyLHJzaXplPTMyNzY4LHdzaXplPTMyNzY4LHRpbWVvPTUwLHJldHJhbnM9MTAgeWFrMjA6L3VzcjIvdXNlcnMvJiA=

Which should be: nisMapEntry: -rw,tcp,intr,rsize=32768,wsize=32768,timeo=50,retrans=10 yak20:/usr2/users/&

In LDIF syntax :: behind the attribute type name indicates that the attribute value is base64-encoded (see RFC 2849).

$ python -c "print 'LXJ3LHRjcCxpbnRyLHJzaXplPTMyNzY4LHdzaXplPTMyNzY4LHRpbWVvPTUwLHJldHJhbnM9MTAgeWFrMjA6L3VzcjIvdXNlcnMvJiA='.decode('base64')" -rw,tcp,intr,rsize=32768,wsize=32768,timeo=50,retrans=10 yak20:/usr2/users/&
