[Building Sakai] Sakai 2.5 passwords not working in sakai 2.9

[alaanizar at iihem.ac.ma]

Thank you Jim.

I start right away with the conversion on a new server.

I'll
get back to you when I'm done. I will also run the sakai 2.9.0 against the latest obtained
database from those conversions!

Once again, thank you Jim,

regards,

suggested two questions.  I've addressed only one of them.  The other is whether
