It needs to be a seeded salt $1$seed$ type crypt. looks like you created it with a "md5sum" type command.

We figured that out. Our initial problem was the hasher I was using put out hex encoding instead of base64 or whatever the printable ascii encoding is. We has already tried the seed, and once we used a different hasher things worked fine. We we confused because we thought it had worked a week ago, but that was on 4.2.2. Don't know if it had a security problem. Anyway, thanks for the quick response.

FYI @peterle-qwerty, the password you included in your now-deleted example is still available to others in the discussion history, and will have been mailed to a number of people, so consider that unsafe. But I'm assuming that was an example and not a password you actually use somewhere ;)
