Bug#988033: slapd-contrib: It would be good to avoid generating sambaLMPassword hashes

[Diane Trout]

Package: slapd-contrib
Version: 2.4.47+dfsg-3+deb10u6
Severity: wishlist

Dear Maintainer,

I was looking into keeping unix and samba passwords in sync using smbk5pwd but
the current module generates LM password hashes, and from what I have read
those are considered easily reversable. Additionally windows & samba have been
moving away from using LM passwords for a while and I think the default
configurations have it disabled.

It looks like upstream removed the code to generate the LM hash at some point.
(I didn't check how far back)
