Hi... Hopefully this falls under "better late than never"
I also encounted this issue. The root cause turned out to that the password for a user needs to be stored user crypt(). So:
1) Use this (http://www.osix.net/modules/article/?id=571) script to create the crypt()ed passsword (the salt is the 1st 2 chars of the password)
2) update your "employees" table with the output of the step above
