how to handle long password in HP_IA64

Hello,

It seems crypt() in HP_IA64(Unix) can only encrypt 8 characters long
password, are there any ways to make it encrypt using in MD5 rather
than DES as the GNU crypt() can switch between the two algrorithms?

If not, what other way I can go for to handle long password in HP_IA64?

Thanks very much!
