Thanks All!
Got it fixed. For future reference.. PHP has the option in php.ini magic_quote_gpc. If this is turned on it automagically backslashes quotes and doublequotes to keep them as non-special-characters in all GET POST and Cookies. This was turned on (apprently by default in PHP4 Deb package in woody) and was adding a slash to the passwords, causing authentication to fail. Turned it off in /etc/php/apache/php.ini and problem went away. Thanks again, David.
