Subject: A puzzling hash from the past

Hello,

I recently analyzed the firmware of a certain discontinued router that
I have and managed to extract a cramfs filesystem. There, I found
/etc/shadow with a strange hash:

user:$1juTFYmn618Y:12086::99999::::

To my understanding, a DES hash should have 13 characters in base64
digits (including the salt). Any ideas why does it start with a '$'?
It appears that the firmware utilized tinylogin 0.80 and uClibc
0.9.26. I had a look at the source but found no clues.

Regards,
JM
