[Koha] Help please

MySQL 4.1 and 5 use a different password hashing algorithm than earlier versions. I think so far all the Koha installs have used MySQL 4.0.x or earlier. I'm not sure of the best way to fix it. If I get a chance, I'll do some testing over the next couple days. 

For now, here a a couple links that suggest some fixes. Or maybe someone else on the list has a fix. I also want to see if upgrading the version of DBD-Mysql and DBI modules that we use might fix the problem.

See links:
