MD5 or SHA1 with "salt" and therefore it is _not_. |

Almost. It is done by one of pam's module. Look in /etc/pam.d |

The salt method is not algorithm specific. Emerge john and let it run on |
16 |
your local passwords and you will know what it is :) |
17 |
As far I remember the DES version was with salt, too (I have no clue |
18 |
what NBS stands for). |
