An IV for MD5? I seriously doubt that. Note that MD5 is not reversible encryption. It's a hash algorithm (one-way encryption). Maybe you're talking about adding a salt? But this would be password scheme {SMD5} not {MD5}.

BTW: {SSHA} should be preferred!

To make things more clear here are good explanations which also apply to FDS: http://www.openldap.org/faq/data/cache/419.html

Ciao, Michael.
