Log:
From the author of the patch:
"Problem: when using the password USERAUTH in pg_hba.conf, the backend
does not 'recognize' your password from the configured file.
This is caused by postgresql-6.2/src/backend/libpq/password.c not using
the correct salt (length) in crypt()'ing the plain text password which
in turn results in a failing comparison.
Problem: the pg_passwd utility complains about incorrect length.
It assumes a length of 13. The max length from <pwd.h> is 128.
The original code will probably work fine in an DES environment.
If time allows it, please review the following patches for both DES/MD5,
and correct me where wrong (very likely;-) :"
Please test folks, if it works for you well, then I will close the PR.
