[plug] MD5 convert

[Brian Tombleson]

Err, no, I didn't want to convert hashes.  I want the system to check
existing MD5 hashed passwords with the MD5 algorithm.  The system was built
(without MD5 turned on) and the passwd+shadow file copied from backup.

Anyway, thanks for the input and it's solved now (prev email).

Regards,
Brian.
