Ensure that you have USEMD5=yes in /etc/sysconfig/authconfig; this is
set by kickstart's auth --enablemd5 line.
MD5-based passwords look like this:
$1$h6SOogDr$jZPK48gOLAgayPYLN4gSr0
whereas classic "crypt" passwords like this:
9tJNsoIV/pjgQ
Both can be generated by openssl's passwd applet;
see "openssl passwd --help" for more info.

All -
I know the difference between the passwords, but I think that Stephen
Mah got me on the right track.
He suggested using the grub-md5-crypt command, which works perfectly.
Exactly what I was looking for.
Thanks
