I forgot to mention that it doesn't happen like that here. I enter  
the password in cleartext in Catwalk, but when I browse the resulting  
table, I see it stored in cleartext aswell. This wasn't so before and  
I wonder what's causing this behavior.

Considering what I say above, this is no longer a possible case. The  
passwords are indeed being stored in cleartext, it seems like there's  
no encrypt/decrypt going on at all, even though the password  
encryption is set to md5.

But apparently it hashes passwords in your setup. What could then be  
keeping it from happening that way here?

Absolutely.

For now, the fix was simply to edit every user's passwords (it's just  
a dozen test users, no problems with this). But something's  
definitely fishy.
