That means that you do have MD5 crypt() support. If you simply provide a
salt that starts with $1$ you should get an md5-encrypted password.
If you look in a passwd or shadow file that contains md5'ed passwords you
will see something like this:
$1$rZelmysN$Gj0rbqD76STIotGExxpna1
^^^^^^^^^^^^
SALT
So to generate a password like this you would do:
crypt($string,'$1$rZelmysN$');
