[imp] Login problems with MD5 passwords?

[James Whittington]

Hope nobody wasted any more than 2 seconds of brainpower on my issue, I
believe I determined that somehow my Horde User account passwords didn't
match the Linux user passwords.  I reset my unix password then tried to
log on to Horde with my old password (that is in mysql horde_user
table), the login would fail until the two passwords matched.  So I then
reset the 25 unix accounts I had created then things started working.

Sorry to waste everyones time on the posts, I over-analysed the problem.

Okay I figured out my MD5 hashes are consistant by using "SELECT
MD5("mypasswd");" and comparing it with the user_pass column.

Why would only new users not
work?_______________________________________________

I having problems logging in to some new accounts I created yesterday in
horde.
I currently run
horde-2.1-3,php-imap-4.2.3-0horde2,php-mysql-4.2.3-0horde2,
php-imap-4.2.3-0horde2,php-ldap-4.2.3-0horde2,php-4.2.3-0horde2,libmcryp
t-2.5.6-0horde2. I use mysql and imap-2001a as well.


I created users in the horde database with the mysql statement:

INSERT INTO
horde_users(user_uid,user_pass)values('user3',md5('p at ssword'));

The users show up in the horde_users table with md5 values as I've done
before with success.

But now it appears I can only log on with previously created horde ID's
and passwords.

Does anyone have any suggested troubleshooting steps?
How can I verify that my MD5 hash is the same value as the password I'm
trying to use?

I suspect maybe I could have accidently updated something I shouldn't
have that's affecting the creation and use of the MD5 passwords.

Any suggestions would be greattly appreciated..
