The mailing list for listmasters using Sympa

[Daniel Bentley <address@concealed>]

Although I have been managing mailing lists via Sympa for some time now, a 
server re-install has led me to a re-install of Sympa.  The previous 
installation (3.2.1) was done by the former administrator, who installed 
the old Sympa directories to the four corners of the server.

I've gotten it to the point that the old lists work (including those 
polling info. from MySQL), and the web interface comes up with the default 
templates.  After trying to (unsuccessfully) apply the old templates to 
the new configuration, I figured it would be faster to log in and see if 
the administration interface had a feature to configure templates via the 
web interface.

The problem: I can't log in.

I've used the 'Send me a password' function, and the resulting e-mail 
shows both username and password correctly, according to the old 
configuration.  Trying to use this username/password combination however, 
results in a 'Provided password is incorrect     login: action failed' 
message.  There are no odd error messages in either syslog or web server 
logs that would point to a permissions error.

Where should I look from this point?  I find it odd that the 'Send me a 
password' works correctly, but the actual login does not...
