You have two passwords. Your Plan 9 password is used
for Plan 9 protocols and is only stored as a DES key by
the auth server. Your APOP password is used for a lot of
external protocols (including APOP). The auth server
stores the actual password, so it can be used in ways
other than DES. When you run passwd you get prompted
about your APOP password after your original password.

The challenge/response for drawterm uses your Plan 9 password
(it's a slightly Plan 9-specific protocol). The challenge/response
for VNC uses your APOP password. So the problems seem unrelated
except for the general "something is not quite right about your
auth setup".
