Ok. I was never bitten by that because I create my instances using a
combination of "ssh to the server" and "run my create_sapdb script". I
think you've got a correct analysis of the problem : x_server is not pam
aware and does not support md5.

I see three solutions (the bad one, the hard one, and the workaround
one) :
 - bad : reset your password with crypt
 - hard : hack pam support into x_server and get free beer
 - workaround : chroot your maxdb
