If you don't have (or like) md5pass, a very similar idea also works with openssl: openssl passwd <BLABLA>, where <BLABLA> is an arbitrary string. This command just generates a hash of that string using the crypt algorithm by default. Old-fashioned, no high security, but for quick-and-dirty applications (like temporary accounts) may be acceptable.

When a salt is being used, this sounds similar to the PasswordMaker approach...
