IIRC, passwords should now look something like $1$ followed by the salt and the actual encrypted password. Take a look at the database and make sure the envrypted passwords are the correct format. I had problems following my upgrade wherby some a.out executables that had passwords suddenly wanted to start reading the old password format. If you didn't upgrade properly I suppose it could also be that your login program is using the older form of crypt(), which I seem to remember seeing is still available.
