So, something is wonky somewhere, probably on your environment side - as a guess.
crypt has been on every UNIX and UNIX-like system I have seen.
Sorry, I don't find crypt on Linux.

Code:
bash-3.2$ find /usr/bin /usr/xpg?/bin /usr/ucb  -type f -name crypt
find: /usr/xpg?: No such file or directory
find: /usr/ucb: No such file or directory
bash-3.2$ uname -a
Linux mymac 2.6.18-410.el5 #1 SMP Fri Apr 8 05:48:52 EDT 2016 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux

Thus, my question remains ...Is there a generic command for masking passwords that works on most Unix / Linux systems.

I tried the below but i don't find them on most systems.
Code:
crypt
base64
openssl

Please suggest.
