mysq/php/blowfish (was vtiger/mysql/encryption)

I figured that must have something to do with the way
MySQL stores and php encrypts/decrypts data.
I used mysqldump and saw that the passwords in MySQL
are stored as Blowfish hashes, and I suspect that php
uses a different algorithm when it tries to
authenticate against the mysql database. As a result I
can never log in, since passwords don't match.
Is there a way to force php to use Blowfish?
In php.ini there is session.hash_function variable,
but the only two possible options are MD5 and SHA-1.
And I am not even sure that this is the problem.

Any clues?
Thanks in advance,
Michael

Good day all.

I am trying to get the vtiger CRM going on two
machines with varying success.

I installed all the software packages required by
vtiger: php5, mysql50-server and client, and the
latest apache version 2, all with exactly the same
compile options. I also made all the necessary
adjustments to mysql, php and apache configuration
files. I grabbed the compressed archive from
vtiger.com and extracted it under my Apache document
root. The web-based setup went smoothly, on both
machines. However after the setup was done and it
was
time to test the CRM, I was able to go past the
login
screen (claiming I typed the wrong password) on one
of
the machines, but not on the other one. I tried the
setup procedure various times on the second machine,
but no luck.

The only two differences between the two machines
(software wise of course) is that the machine I was
able to get vtiger to work is a 5.5-RELEASE, while
the
other one is a 6.1-p10. The second difference is
that
the 5.5 machine uses md5 for passwords, and 6.1
blowfish.

I know that this question doesn't pertain
particularly
to FreeBSD, but maybe people who installed the usual
php/apache/mysql under FreeBSD (which isn't
uncommon)
have experienced something similar.

Thanks in advance.
Michael
