[I'm generally not going to add any new features before GNATS 4 is
released. However some missing features can be considered being bugs
which should be fixed.]
I added support for MD5 encrypted passwords in gnatsd.access, based on a
patch by Tommi Virtanen. Now you can use passwords prefixed with `$1$'
there, see the documentation of `crypt' in the GNU libc manual for more
details about the form of such passwords. Passwords prefixed with $0$
are exact match passwords. Other passwords remain the same as before,
i.e. case sensitive wild card match passwords.

real programmer? don't get me started. if you need to hide your
pathetic excuse for a carreer behind super-macho languages like C, C++,
and/or Perl instead of writing clean, maintainable, efficient code, you
aren't much of a real programmer in my view. -- Erik Naggum in comp.emacs
