Hi,
I haven't tried this, but here's an idea just off the top of my head
which _might_ work:
1. take away the {MD5} from the string
2. base64 decode the rest of the string
3. convert the string to hex
4. put the $1$ at the front of the hex string
5. put the whole string into the password field in /etc/shadow and test
If that works, you could write a perl script to automate the procedure.
And report back to the list as well :-)
BR,
