The LinkedIn password incompetence has resulted in a number of "just use
md5crypt and you'll be fine" pieces of advice on the net.
Since I no longer consider this to be the case, I have issued an official
statement, as the author of md5crypt, to the opposite effect:

Please find something better now.
Thanks for using my code.
