Hi again,
Emergency over - sorted the problem. It turns out that in fact we never
had blowfish in libcrypt under 4.3-R, so the "blowfish" crypts I thought
we had were infact DES crypts with the salt of $2... and the upgrade to
4.4-R meant that blowfish was in fact now in libcrypt meaning that the
encrypted passwords were treated as blowfish passwords and did not work.
I've now compiled blowfish support out of libcrypt as a temporary fix.
In my defense, i never wrote the database, and did suggest using MD5...
Thanks anyway,
Gavin
