[lug] [OT] More SunOS, Solaris, crypt() and MD5

[D. Stimits]

In glibc Linux, using the special salt to crypt() that begins with "$1$" 
causes the single DES to instead be replaced with MD5 as the hash algo. 
It seems from the man page for crypt() on Solaris that MD5 is not 
available. Is there another common function which provides MD5 or strong 
hash? I can't imagine any semi-modern system not using strong hashes for 
passwords these days, I'm wondering what non-free commercial UNIX-like 
systems use?
