create hashed passwords in PHP ?
 

Hi Iam writing a script that allows to add users through a php webinterface.........anyhow everything went fine untill I had to proved the -p argument for the useradd command.........it must be hashed right ???
So I tried crypt and md5 in PHP to create the hashed password but nothing worked........I even tried using the "openssl passwd -crypt" through shell_exec() but it did not work either.........

In short is it possible to hash the password outside the linux box and then provide it ?????????
Any comments ??
