There's a copy in Google's cache, which gives this sample:

| Change the user's password:
| # passwd mehdi   <-- I set this password: "Thisisanewlongpassword:)"
| 
| If you are curious, have a look at /etc/security/passwd:
| # grep -p mehdi /etc/security/passwd
| mehdi:
|         password = {ssha512}06$Zq5raZlRV3yGMiqT$07e5A.zEP/XnDWto5B4.JMszwgWEIH68mMcrzHCC9h5OmKEQ.SsBKw3hexid3hT9X0al.39iSV/Xi1txzU5C..

Neither matches standard sha512crypt.  I also tried other likely default
iteration counts (like 1000 and 10000) - no luck.
