Hi,
Oh, and this will do almost NOTHING to make your site more secure. Why do
you think it will?

You are partly right about this we had a nice flame war about this very
issue couple of weeks ago on the jabber lists. Anyone interested in the
nitty gritty can google on the jabber archives. I still use the
password() function whenever i can cause i only have to type in about 10
keystrokes anyhow, the reason is that it will keep other users of the
database from accidentaly seeing passwords that they shouldn't. Since
this is one way hashes it cannot be decoded. Almost any argument that
applies for/against /etc/password would apply to mysql password() as well.
