You probably need to 'crypt' the password before inserting it into the
database.
This can be done using something like:
pw_hasher = IS_CRYPT()
ticket_master = db.auth_user.insert(first_name=fname,
last_name=lname,
email=maile,
password=pw_hasher(passwd))
The form based user registration does this automatically as part of
validation, but since you are inserting a record manually, these
validation steps are not executed to the best of my knowledge.
