[phpWebLog-devel] stuff.

[Jason H. <ope...@ey...>]

The problem with some users not being to login to admin has finally been
solved. I apologize
that so many have had to help troubleshoot/debug this to get it working
on their system. The
problem was a result of ignorance, a huge blunder on my part. 

I was not using php's crypt() correctly AT ALL. Instead of checking for
which encryption methods were
availble of a system, and encrypting accordingly, I was using using the
string "CRYPT_BLOWFISH" as
the salt. Lame eh. I must've been skimming the docs a page a second.
CRYPT_BLOWFISH is a constant
that returns either 0 or 1 depending of whether or not that particular
system supports it. What this was
doing was setting the salt to either 0 or 1. I develop on Linux, which
by default does not support blowfish,
so the default password that was shipped with phpWebLog was set with a
salt of 0. This means that this
would work fine on any system that didn't support blowfish. However, as
I saw more people using BSD
having problems, whala. BSD is well know for their all-encompassing
encryption support. 

I learned my lesson. =]
