In Debian there is no crypt command. There is a crypt(3) libc
interface though. If you want to crypt something, you can use
perl to do this in a non-platform specific way:
$ PASSWORD=foo perl -e 'srand ; @salt=(a..z,A..Z,0..9); \
print crypt($ENV{PASSWORD}, $salt[rand(62)].$salt[rand(62)]), "\n";'

or if you want md5crypted passwords
$ PASSWORD=foo perl -e 'srand ; @salt=(a..z,A..Z,0..9); \
print crypt($ENV{PASSWORD}, "\$1\$".$salt[rand(62)].$salt[rand(62)]), "\n";'

p.s. What does this have to do with debian-boot?
