You may want to test pam_unix2. It should work for all the tools that use
PAM for setting/checking the passwords (i.e. passwd, su, login should
work, but chpasswd and the useradd's -p option won't work; all this
should be verified)

I've found more info on this thread:

(Making Linux use Blowfish for passwd/shadow encryption)
