  openssl passwd [-crypt] [-1] [-apr1] [-salt string] [-in file] [-stdin]
  [-quiet] [-table] [password]

  line. The UNIX standard algorithm crypt and the MD5-based BSD password
  algorithm 1 and its Apache variant apr1 are available.

  openssl passwd -crypt -salt xx password
	  Prints xxj31ZMTZzkVA.

  openssl passwd -1 -salt xxxxxxxx password
	  Prints $1$xxxxxxxx$8XJIcl6ZXqBMCK0qFevqT1.

  openssl passwd -apr1 -salt xxxxxxxx password
