(You can find these by searching the file for ":login:". There will be a few other records just above it, also associated with the login attempt.) A successful login to 3.x should always upgrade an unsalted MD5 hash to a salted SHA512 hash. (IIRC the new hash is configurable, but an unsalted hash should always be replaced by a new salted hash.) > The login does not still happen and the person is redirected to the > home page. That is certainly not expected. I wonder if some local customization is not compatible with changes between 1.7 and 3.2. I wish I could suggest where to look. -- Mark H.
