Can I use hashed password for ldap_bind_pw in saslauthd.conf?

[Igor Brezac]

If you know of a really effective two way hash, please submit code.

Otherwise you can use sasl and you will not need to specify the password 
in saslauthd.conf:

ldap_use_sasl: yes
ldap_server: ldap:///
ldap_mech: DIGEST-MD5
