Password Generation during RH Linux 6.x Installation

BugTraq'ers,
It seems as though, when entering a root password during RH Linux 6.x
installation, the generated password, stored in the shadowed passwords file
(/etc/shadow) does not contain a salt. This has occured on three separate
machines, and after the root password is changed using the `passwd` command,
the salt is included in the encrypted password, as it should be. Can anyone
confirm this observation and provide more details? Thanks, in advance.
