Re: Weird password problem

I ran into this exact same problem with mod_perl authentication.  For some
reason I'd always get this random extra character at the end.

I found the solution (excuse my SQL/perl notation)

$passwd = "SELECT PASSWORD($passwd_sent)";
chop($passwd);

The chop gets rid of the extra character at the end so that you can
properly verify.
