A BIG problem could be the password hash. In my case, a crypt-md5 has
a preleading {crypt-md5} to it, which disrupts anything that doesn't
know about that.

Paul if you read this, take a note, please. :)

Proper MD5 hashed passwords /always/ start with $1, to signify that
it's MD5, and hashed.
DES hashed passwords don't have that. I forget it's identifier, if it
even has one.

I personally dare not ever use plaintext passwords as much as I
possibly can.

Try an experiment, and remove that {} preleading blurb from the
hashed_password, and see if that works.
