The replacement libcrypt code at
http://www.physics.adelaide.edu.au/~kkennawa/crypt-990725.tar.gz
allows this (and more), the only major downside is that it doesn't allow
statically-linked binaries to use external crypt() modules (blowfish,
etc). Traditional-format MD5 and DES are built-in so should work fine when
statically-linked.
I haven't had much feedback on this code so would like to hear how well it
works for people. Unfortunately I can't correct any bugs at the moment
until I get my computer (which is at this moment being unloaded from a
plane at the airport :-) set up and back on the net, but I tested it a
fair bit myself back in Australia.
