    sha1 entry disparity

    Registering hibiscus as a password produces a totally different 40-character string to the one I get when I enter it at login. Both programs are consistent with their differing strings. Can anyone tell me why this is and suggest a solution?

      could there be a problem with the character encoding?

        Many thanks for your help - it has taken me till now to discover how to read my threads! - My problem turned out to be that, due to some incompetent programming, I was returning a "" password which was duly given a 40 character string!
