Here's a Solaris 8 /etc/shadow entry:
klowe:TvfSj1YJdIPhw:11848::::::
And one from Mandrkae 8.2 /etc/shadow:
klowe:$1$MXBnpAoD$DvUgscvrW1YPCqBrQ08im1:11886:0:99999:7:-1:-1:1073867006
The Linux crypt() function can generate both versions of the hash. It
looks at the salt fields (2 characters in the first, $1$ for the second)
to generate the appropriate hash. The authentication system uses the
second, more secure version.
