I don't know the answer to this one, check the source.
crypt(3) is the C language interface. Or perl will let you get at it
from the command line. The format of the salt determines the
encryption algorithm used:
Eg. DES just uses two characters:
% perl -e 'print crypt(password, xx), \n;'
xxj31ZMTZzkVA
whereas MD5 uses the 'Modular' format and an 8 character salt:
% perl -e 'print crypt(q{password}, q{$1$$}), \n;'
$1$$UYCIxa628.9qXjpQCjM4a.
Only MD5 and DES are available in FreeBSD 4.x --- other systems may
support Blowfish using salts that start $2$
Cheers,
Matthew

Commands to check encrypted passwords (was Re: Misc Questions.)
Nathan,
This won't work, the md5 system command is to generated md5 message digests.
These are very different from salted passwords, which are a one-way
encryption that will almost never be the same. Message digests are always the
same, using them to encrypt passwords would be abit silly :)
Digests are used (normally) to check the integrity of a downloaded file.
To do this from the command line (without compiling a C program to use it from
libcrypt) you can use perl, as Matthew Seamon points out:
% perl -e 'print crypt(q{password}, q{$1$$}), \n;'
$1$$UYCIxa628.9qXjpQCjM4a.
In this case, the 's would be the 8 character MD5 salt.
