[plug] MD5 convert

Sorry to bother, but can anyone tell me how to tell a Debian Potato system
to lookup passwords (records already existing in /etc/passwd and
/etc/shadow) with MD5 when the system was installed without choosing "Use
MD5 Passwords" ?

I have a passwd/shadow file that has them already in MD5 format, but the
system checks/sets them in the standard format.

Searches on the web say there is a 'pwconv5' util, but it doesn't seem to be
available in Debian.

Regards,
Brian Tombleson.
