Thanks, Sam and Jose.
I'm now actually using SHA256 for the password hash and it works
great. The hash supplied was actually generated from
perl -e "print crypt('testpass', join '', ('.', '/', 0..9,'A'..'Z',
'a'..'z')[rand 64, rand 64]);"
which I got from the tutorial/HOWTO I was using. It turns out that
PHP code supplied was what I was using to generate the password to
login to the custom web application I'm making. That's what I get for
having a piece of code laying around in a file called
GeneratePassword.php and then getting distracted for a month before
coming back.
Thanks again for the expert help. Much appreciated.
