Alll programs linked against libc6 should work with MD5 passwords, but
unfortunatelly so far wu-ftp, ftpd, qpopper,and lots of other packages
arent ported to libc6 yet....
Btw the reason for this (libc6 progs work with md5) it hat libcrypt in
libc6 supports md5_crypt transparently within crypt() ... login and passwd
had their own version of md5_crypt so they work with libc5 too...
