Description Richard Keech 2006-01-31 00:34:50 UTC 
Description of problem:

The grub-md5-crypt only works interactively.  It would be useful for it
to work in the manner of "passwd --stdin".

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

0.95-3.5

I have attached an improved version of grub-md5-crypt which retains current
functionality but lets you do this sort of thing:

# echo sjfsjf|./grub-md5-crypt --stdin
$1$ViqCH1$3raNBTkMgwE3WWt/PyE6X.
