Perhaps there is some other solution, but I use a small C app I wrote. You
can get it at http://www.laffeycomputer.com/crypter.c Directions for
compiling it are in the comments. Note that your system's crypt(3)
function must support MD5 for this to work (most modern un*xes do).
crypter is free. You would use it like this:
mybox> ./crypter 'my pass'
$1$$ZgHOLxjS.UBCu4uVg70a91
This is known to work on NetBSD. Older linuxes do not seem to have MD5
support in their crypt(3). I am not sure about modern linuxes. Please feel
free to improve upon this.
