[rt-users] RT password stored in db

[Karl Pietri]

Ok i have figured this out.  Might want to add it to the wiki (not sure).
to generate the same password as rt in php you need to have php 5.0.0
(currently in beta) and use this code

substr(base64_encode(md5($pass,true)),0,-2) //the substr is to remove the ==
that for some reason is generated at the end of the string

Thanks for the help.
