The {crypt} scheme supports any value your crypt(3)
library call supports.  Many versions of crypt(3) support
a variety of hash algorithms.

This is a password(5) format password and NOT compatible
with either {MD5} nor {SMD5} format.  However, if your
crypt(3) library call supports this format, you can
use:
        {crypt}$1$xxyyzzuu$qqwweerrtt

If that doesn't work, you'll have to write code.
