title: Password hashing in Django
body: <p>I'm trying to integrate vBulliten and Django's user databases. I know vB uses a md5 algorithm to hash it's passwords, with a salt. I have the salt data and the password for each vB user, and would like to know how to import those accounts onto Django.</p>
  
  <p>I've tried the obvious, changing the Django user's password to;</p>
  
  <p>md5$vb's_salt$vb's_password</p>
  
  <p>This just throws back Django's log-in form, with a message saying "username and password does not match"</p>
  
  <p>Any ideas?</p>
