Re: Creating standalone passwords in /etc/passwd format
I have had a look at crypt (enigma), but it doesn't appear to use the same algorithm? I need the same as that used in passwd!

The algorithm is selectable; the mechanism is crypt(3). The standard utility for what you are trying to do is openssl(1). It used to be makekey(1), but that has been obsoleted by openssl.

Try making a PERL script with the following lines...
$UserDetails{EncryptedPassword} = crypt($UserDetails{TextPassword}, join
'', ('.', '/', 0..9, 'A'..'Z', 'a'..'z')[rand 64, rand 64]); # this
creates an encrypted password the same format as the MD5 in /etc/passwd
my $PassMD5 = crypt($Login-{Password}, $EncryptedPassword); # this
creates the same MD5 string, used for verification of entering passwords
encrypted with the above method.
