[finnix] Trouble with boot-option sshd

When I start with the boot-option sshd, I get this:

[*] Starting SSH daemon...
chpasswd: unrecognized option '--md5'
Usage: chpasswd [options]

Options:
  -h, --help                    display this help message and exit

[*]
[*] IMPORTANT: The 'root' and 'finnix' accounts have been disabled, and
[*] passwords for these accounts must be set for remote administration.
[*]
[*] Please be sure to use 'passwd' to set a password after sshd is 
started.
[*]
[*] Generating SSH1 RSA host key... done
[*] Generating SSH2 RSA host key... done
[*] Generating SSH2 DSA host key... done
[*] Starting OpenBSD Secure Shell server... sshd done


This used to work fine in 92.0. I use sshd togehter with sshd_password 
to remotly pxe-boot machines into finnix, and logon using ssh and do 
whatever. With version 93.0 the accounts are disabled because of this, 
and someone in front of the machine needs to use passwd to enable the 
accounts.
