Interpreting the encrypted shadow password?

We are currently using a script to copy the same encrypted password between our HP-UX and Solaris servers editing the trusted and shadow files directly. The encrypted password is only 13 characters long on both servers and decrypts the same way. Is there a way to copy this same string to Linux servers?

The encrypted password in the shadow file on one of our Linux servers looks like this:
1$9EmV.jZO$YyfdtPT11aP3hE.jqX7Ve0

I've read the crypt 3 man page but I am not sure how to intrepret it. Any idea if its possible to replace 13 characters in this string to decrypt the same password?
