I found an interesting little quirk with the PHP crypt function. This function encrypts your admin and user passwords for JFFNMS.
Initially this used to produce a 8 character or 32 character hash which fitted within the 50 character database field. It seems that some installations of PHP use better types of crypting which is good. Unfortunately the resulting hash is 96 characters long. This means the hash didn't fit into the database so it never matches. You'll see this problem when you update your password and then can never login with that user. The fix is easy: ALTER TABLE `auth` MODIFY `passwd` varchar(200); Put that into you mysql command line and your passwords work. - Craig -- Craig Small VK2XLZ http://www.enc.com.au/ csmall at : enc.com.au Debian GNU/Linux http://www.debian.org/ csmall at : debian.org GPG fingerprint: 1C1B D893 1418 2AF4 45EE 95CB C76C E5AC 12CA DFA5 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Benefiting from Server Virtualization: Beyond Initial Workload Consolidation -- Increasing the use of server virtualization is a top priority.Virtualization can reduce costs, simplify management, and improve application availability and disaster protection.
