Public bug reported:
Authentication using "Backend" encrypt Mechanism against a MySQL Table
which users the old short hashes as used in MySQL <4.1 fails. Creating a
new-style hash as used by PASSWORD is working like a charm. However the
application is rather old and thus the shorter hashes (as created with
OLD_PASSWORD() function) have been used.
Excerpt from sql.log:

Feb 21 13:58:54 mod_sql/4.3[7553]: checking password using SQLAuthType 'Backend'
Feb 21 13:58:54 mod_sql/4.3[7553]: entering mysql cmd_checkauth
Feb 21 13:58:54 mod_sql/4.3[7553]: password mismatch
Feb 21 13:58:54 mod_sql/4.3[7553]: exiting mysql cmd_checkauth
Feb 21 13:58:54 mod_sql/4.3[7553]: 'Backend' SQLAuthType handler reports failure

(Using crypt or emtpy password also works, so this is not a
configuration issue.)
