Well the string above is definitely NOT md5. It looks a lot more like the
old fashioned crypt() thing.

I remember coming across something similiar a few years back when I was
trying to add some old solaris boxen to linux environment and hitting this
same problem. You, however, are moving to a more modern system, so it looks
like a stupid idea for a modern system to use older password hashing.
Anyway, check what the sles manuals say, maybe someone got enlightened and
configured defaluts to be more 'the old unix way'.
