So, we have one failure for chkpass on OpenBSD, because OpenBSD crypt()
doesn't support the traditional two-character salt format.

Option:

- Use the resultmap features to make this an expected failure on OpenBSD.

- Fix the module to work on OpenBSD.  This would involve making a
platform-specific modification to use whatever advanced salt format they
want.

- Replace the entire module with something that does not depend on crypt().
