[RADIATOR] Feature request - Different encryption methods in AuthBy UNIX

[Johnson, Neil M]

Radiator 4.16 on the test box and Radiator 4.13 in production.

It appears the password is in SHA-512 format ($6$ prefix), but it didn’t work on the test box until I ran a python script uses the following line to encrypt the password:

encrypted_password = crypt.crypt(raw_passwd1, salt=crypt.METHOD_SHA512)

And then manually copied it into the /etc/shadow file.

Here is the password entry for a dummy account I created on the test box:

$6$rMzuK3lt$OTG.nVZjYW6E4jWjQJ3DVQgpEPoSSy6p6b34p1nx5w3b7NKfTAWKKF0xvUGPeiM9PLSc3z83uD8JcKzzjU6951

password is “fredsmed"
