[Fedora-directory-users] Exporting MD5 Hash from FD-DS into /etc/shadow

[DeMarco, Dennis]

I'll give this a try, but looking at /etc/shadow right now does not look
like HEX characters after the $1$. 
 
Does anyone know if this is a standard algorithm? Or if /etc/pam can use
SHA or another encryption I can easily export out of the directory
server? So far my searches seem only MD5 or crypt is what is normal for
Redhat.
