[RADIATOR] suggested hash algorithm for passwords in text files

As MD5 isn't recommended these days and we don't want to use some
vendor/product specific algorithm like the mysql or mssql ones I'm
looking for something like SHA256 or better.
Digest::SHA is a required module since version 4.10 but it's sha256 and
sha512 methods seem to be unused currently.
I've tried using Encrypted-Password = "{SHA}" but thats Netscape SHA and
seems to be incompatible with SHA1.
