What it is depends on what encryption routines you have installed.
The algorithm to authenticate detects the algorithm based on the hash.
32-char : MD5
$1$ : SHA-1
$2$ : SHA-2
etc.
(Apologies if I got my tokens/algorithms wrong)
If you just toss MD5s in there, it should work, I think, if you have MD5 installed and available.
It picks the best available when it adds a new entry.
So an old file might look like:
#your box came with MD5 installed
joe:MD5
alice:MD5
#you installed SHA-2
bob:SHA-2
lee:SHA-2
At least, that's been my experience so far...
