Yes, I think that would work, although (playing devil's advocate, somewhat), a
hash is just a string with different semantics.
Normally, the semantics are held in t

I was going to submit a bug against passwd for this so it doesn't get lost in
the wash.

Sounds like a good idea.
As you say, the PXE boot will have already used the
