no, i just use crypt via an iterative perl quickie:

	#!/usr/bin/perl

	my $plain = shift;
	my $salt = '';

	# randomize the salt, just to be difficult
	do {
		my $crypt = crypt($plain,$salt || $plain);
		$salt = substr($crypt,rand(length $crypt),1);
		$crypt =~ s/\Q$salt\E//g;
		$salt .= substr($crypt,rand(length $crypt),1);
	} while rand() < .7;

	print crypt($plain,$salt),"\n";

but i don't think encoding format is my trouble -- it doesn't let
me in EVEN if i get rid of the passwd file COMPLETELY.

i must have something pointing to the wrong directory or
something like that.

DEBIAN NEWBIE TIP #16 from Will Trillich <will@serensoft.com> 
:
Why are *.rpm (RED HAT PACKAGES) considered spawn of Satan?
Because the Debian package system is a lot more sophisticated
than the one Red Hat uses; lots more inter-dependency information
is built in to a *.deb package. If you bypass that with an *.rpm
file, you're taking chances with your system. Try to "apt-get
install <debian-only>" packages if possible. (Also check out the
"alien" package if you must.)
