Could this be an issue where we need one system for ldap, and the other
for sql?  Is the current code working/broken for any sql users?

I put the changes up for comments and received none.  So the changes went
in. 

So, I'll put this up for comments again.  My particular concern is that maybe
MySQL needs the php md5() whereas ldap wants the other method.  If so, we
can simply code it differently for each backend.

Please, people using any version passwd with either sql or ldap let me 
know what is working or broken for your installation, so we can resolve
this.
