[Proftpd-user] Password issues with auth file from older version?

I'm moving proftpd settings to a new server using the old auth file
(mod_auth) but some users can not login.

I think a clue is with the password hash for the users:

   1. works: $1$<8-char-string>$<22-char-string>
   2. not work: $1<11-char-string>
   3. not work: <13-char-string>

From my research:

   1. Looks to be md5-based + salt. These are recent users and the hash
   should be generated by ftpasswd.
   2. Seems like md5 but not sure how they were generated.
   3. 13-character length seems to indicate des hash. Not sure how it was
   generated.

How would I get the new system to accept logins using the older-style
hashes? I know there may be security issues with the older hash types but
the old server is going away very soon and that is a more pressing concern.

Thanks,
Robert
