Comment 37 for bug 1574900

This is a more widespread problem with more than one *_mysql.so module with the new libmysqlclient.so.18.

The affected *_mysql.so's all are making the deprecated make_scrambled_password call. The f14 version of libmyclient.so (.16) allowed the call even though it was deprecated. The new version version (.18) does not.

Any mysql module that is making the call is failing to load (like apache's mod_auth_mysql) or failing on use (like this one - pam_mysql.)

This is pretty serious in that nobody can authenticate against a mySql database anywhere. I run almost strictly mySql-based virtual users, so my FTP and web server is pretty much toast until this is fixed.
