SHA512 is supported for intrepid.

Nice find!

How did you get the $1$ in your MD5 hash? My Linux md5 command won't do it, neither will PHP.

Those hashes were taken from my /etc/shadow file. They're not my real passwords, of course, just a test user I set up temporarily.

I just upgraded to intrepid today. Pam uses sha512 by default. All I had to so was "sudo passwd cdenley", re-enter my password, and now I'm using sha512.

Beautiful - nice to see the Ubuntu team is on top of things!
