The sed command in the instructions for shadow (in both the 6.6 and SVN) sets the password encryption to MD5.
Just by modifying that sed, I changed it to SHA512, which is just one of the options that should be more secure than MD5. Everything just worked once I made that change. Would changing shadow to use something more secure than MD5 be something that the developers might want to put into the book? Thanks for LFS: I find it invaluable.
