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.
