I found an interesting little quirk with the PHP crypt function. This
function encrypts your admin and user passwords for JFFNMS.

Initially this used to produce a 8 character or 32 character hash which
fitted within the 50 character database field.  It seems that some
installations of PHP use better types of crypting which is good.
Unfortunately the resulting hash is 96 characters long. This means the
hash didn't fit into the database so it never matches.

You'll see this problem when you update your password and then can never
login with that user. The fix is easy:

ALTER TABLE `auth` MODIFY `passwd` varchar(200);

Put that into you mysql command line and your passwords work.
