Also check this:
================================================
$ bin/mmsitepass
New Password:
Again to confirm password:
Password change failed.
$ cat data/adm.pw
$1$FI$4ajCrrR4WADe8XOcBYUp8/$ mmsitepass
mmsitepass: not found
$ bin/mmsitepass
New Password:
Again to confirm password:
Password change failed.
$ cat data/adm.pw
$1$CU$3hwEZaPPSDJOMx8Vv7TyS0
================================================

I entered the same password on both occasions, however the resulting strings
are completly different.
Shouldn't they both be the same?

I looks like there is something wrong with crypting... does anyone have a
direction in which to search.
I'm a complete Python nitwit.
