MD5 - Passwords with python

[holger at fuessler-net.de]

Hallo!

Now I've got it. It's f for followup and not r for reply mail (in TIN). I
was wondering if somebody kills my followups ;-)

Unfortunately, the standard MD5-module doesn't know about the structure of
the password-string so I can't encode a password with it. I found a perl
module which accomplishs my task and so I thought that there is also a python
module. I thought redhat uses a lot of python stuff, so there should be a
routine to generate suitable passwords. I'v already posted in
comp.redhat.security. When I find the details, I'll post them here (if I can
translate them to python). 

Thanks

Holger
