[rt-users] RT 3.0.1 password change does not work

[P P Anwar]

Hi -

I recently started  running RT 3.0.1 on a Redhat 7.3 system, with mysql 
and modperl1.  Everything worked, except for changing passwords.

When I try to change any password through the Web UI, the password gets 
set to some unknown constant value.  In the Users table, I can see that 
whatever the value I specify, I end up with the same MD5 hash.  The 
initial default "password" for root worked, so it looks like the MD5 stuff 
does work, only the values I specify while changing passwords are getting 
lost somewhere.

I tried looking through the code, but have been unsuccessful so far.  Any 
pointers on this would be greatly appreciated.  For now, I am using a 
small perl script which updates the "Password" column in the Users table 
directly to set the passwords.

Anwar.
