Passwords in the data base to be converted were encrypted with the following string. Could someone give me guidance on how to convert this over to fudforum? Thanks in advance for any help.

password = crypt($password, substr($password, (strlen($password) - 3), 2));

Copy the convert_auth.plugin into your forum's plugin directory, activate it and configure it for your auth string. It will convert the encrypted passwords to FUDforum's format as users log in.

You can download the plugin from http://fudforum.svn.sourceforge.net/viewvc/fudforum/trunk/converter/convers ionmaps/convert_auth.plugin

Okay, that's done. Is this the part that I should have entered into the configuration box?

crypt($password, substr($password, (strlen($password) - 3), 2))

Try:

crypt($u->passwd, substr($u->passwd, (strlen($u->passwd) - 3), 2))

If it doesn't work, look at how it's used from the converter map files.

Okay, I tried it, but it seems to be allowing users to login with any password at all. Is there another step? Thanks!

I've successfully used it on several forums. However, if the "authentication function" is wrong, it can lead to all sorts of problems. I'm afraid you'll have to debug the code to see what's wrong.
