Importing encrypted passwords

[dave conz]

Sort of - I'm migrating from WebBBS. I'm not going to import the existing messages but I do need to import the usernames and passwords. The complication is that I've been using my own custom MySQL database to manage my WebBBS users, since the WebBBS username/password system is useless.

So the passwords are encrypted using the same format as WebBBS but stored in a different way (MySQL as opposed to WebBBS profiles). I don't believe there's any way to directly import the passwords into the standard vB format. Actually I don't even know how vB formats passwords yet - I haven't got that far.
