Subject: Cracking md5 salted password

Hi,

I'm newbie in this field. I got a md5 hash + salt in the format
--
user-name:$1$salt$hash
----

I could get correct hash by "openssl passwd -1 -salt salt password" . Does
this mean salt is in plain text ? How can i feed all this info into JTR so
that i can get password for other users ( salt is 8 characters long ) ?

Thanks
