I've observed that on occasion the following /seems/ to fail:

ADMIN_PW_SALT="$( openssl rand -base64 16 )"
HASH_PW=$( php -r "echo escapeshellarg( crypt( '${IXPM_ADMIN_PW}', 
sprintf( '\$2a\$%02d\$%s', 10, substr( '${ADMIN_PW_SALT}', 0, 22 ) ) ) );" )

But I cannot reproduce it reliably to fix it.

In any case, either of the following will be fine:

1) using the above and updating the p/w field in the database will work 
around this
2) password reset option (pull reset key from user_prefs if you don't 
have a working mail system)

Anyone know a reliable bcrypt hashed on Ubuntu that could replace the above?

Was this something we knew about?
