This similarity is, however, only skin deep. The unix scheme typically sends clear text passwords over the network when logging in. This is bad.

Because the 16 byte hashed - values are a "password equivalent". You cannot derive the user's + values are a "password equivalent". You cannot derive the user's password from them, but they could potentially be used in a modified client to gain access to a server. This would require considerable technical knowledge on behalf of the attacker but is perfectly possible.
