ftp passwd= *0

Hm, very strange.

I found something:
http://ch2.php.net/manual/en/function.crypt.php#71748
***
Blowfish doesn't use a sixteen character salt, it uses sixteen *bytes* of salt. So (courtesy of the docs for the Crypt::Eksblowfish::Bcrypt Perl module), it's:

"$2", optional "a", "$", two digits, "$", and 22 base 64 digits

If the salt is not long enough, crypt will return "*0" and you will have no idea what is wrong. Interestingly, the example in the documentation with a trailing '$' in the salt does not work. Replace the '$' with a '.', and the output appears as advertised.
***

So, try to set
--
if (CRYPT_BLOWFISH == 1) {
$length = 16;
$pre = '$2$';
--

maybe this improves the blowfish encryption on your system.

It seems you have to play a bit... :-)

Hope this helps
