Getting Debian to use MD5 and shadow for /etc/passwd

[Sunny Dubey <dubeys@bxscience.edu>]

Hi guys

I have a debian woody machine, that doesn't use MD5 nor shadow.  So I was 
wondering how I could get my debian machine to use MD5 and shadow.

I know I can't convert passwords from one form to another, but that isn't a 
problem for me.

Thanks for any info!!!
