Crypt (the thing that does the encryption) saves the "salt" into the first
two characters of the encrypted password, so this password can be used on
any machine.
You transfer passwords from machine A to machine B. Maybe machine B uses
shadow passwords? Then all passwordfields in /etc/passwd have just a "x"
and the actual passwords should go into /etc/shadow.
