# This program is a simple passwd making program.  It turns ordinary
# text into encrypted passwords like the passwd program in unix.

# This program does not have all the fancy features that the unix version
# has however.
# This program can be used to create htaccess user databases.
# Just simply run it like:

# passwd.pl filename user
# where filename is the file you want the user and passwd to be stored in
# and  user is the username you want to add a passwd for.

# This script can also be used for WWWADMIN's passwd.txt file, if you forget
# the one you changed it to and can't change it from the web.

# Enjoy!
