Actually, md5 should work fine. It works for me...
Admittedly, we should expand the prefixs that are accepted as 'pre-crypted':
($result =~ /^\$1\$/) || ($result =~ /^\$5\$/) || ($result =~ /^\$6\$/)
So $1$, $5$, and $6$ should be fine. If it is something else and doesn't work,
let me know.
For reference, the 'sub crydb' in Template.pm is the part that decides whether
to crypt or pass through.
Also, though it won't help xCAT at large much, confluent implements symmetric
encryption of all the credentials that it copes with. Granted the key by
default is essentially in the clear, but the plan is to have the ability to opt
in to locking that key up.

Subject: [xcat-user] xCAT encrypt password in passwd table
Looking here:
http://sourceforge.net/p/xcat/wiki/Encrypted_root_password_in_passwd.tab/
I see that I can encrypt the root password, but this explicitly says md5
doesn't work. Is there a better way to do this using a more secure hashing
method?
