The "::" tells you it's base64 encoded:
$ echo "e2NyeXB0fSQxJDQ3MzI3NzgyJEY5RTQxMXJQQVdUV2Zhbnp6ZWZWcC4=" | openssl base64 -d
This is MD5 rather than traditional DES crypt.
As long as your version of FDS is linked against glibc, it should just
passwords then they'll be stored in the scheme FDS is configured to use
(default is SSHA).

If you import with the "{scheme}" sigal then FDS knows it's already
hashed and doesn't do it again.
