Your example has passwd encrypted in DES not MD5. MD5 encypted passwd has
the form:
$1$<string>$<md5_encrypted_passwd>
where <string> is an 8-char string and
<md5_encrypted_passwd> is 22-char from [/.a-zA-Z0-9] md5 encrypted. Most
modern linux distro uses md5 for /etc/shadow. If you want, you can
automatically generate encrypted passwd for shadow file using a perl
script:
#!/usr/bin/perl -w
system "stty -echo";
print "Password: ";
chomp(my $word = <STDIN>);
system "stty echo";
my $salt = '$1$';
for(1..8) {
$salt = join('',$salt,chr(rand(127-33)+33));
}
print "\nMD5 Encrypted password:",crypt($word, $salt),"\n";
