Re: Script for creating .htpasswd file?

I used a perl script from http://www.cgiscriptcenter.com/ called Account Manager LITE. It has a good user manual to help you set it up. It's a set of scripts that allow you to add users and password directories. Basically, you have to fill in the generated forms. However, I then used the tcpcmd suite to automate the filling in of forms and rendered a .htaccess to the correct directory with the correct users. The Account Manager LITE took care of encoding the password and storing it in the .htpasswd file.Some general help on .htaccess:

If you're doing it on a mac, those .htaccess files can help to mangle your directory structure - I don't think files beginning with a fullpoint are happy on a mac.
If I can help anymore...
