I'm having trouble getting the mysql authdaemond module to work with MD5
password hashes.

After "authtest myuser mypass", the log says:

    authdaemond: supplied password 'mypass' does not match encrypted password '

You need to use base64-encoding, not hex-encoding.  Something like:

$ perl -e 'use Digest::MD5 qw(md5_base64); print "{MD5}" .
md5_base64("mypass") . "\n";'
