bash:htpasswd command not found

what is the cause of this problem?How can i set the authentication now?

htpassword is found in the httpd package if using centos/redhat and apache2-utils on debian

actually, that passwd is crypt passwd.
has a lot of way to generate passwd.

the following is c language

[root@linux root]# cat crypt.c
/*

char *crypt(const char *key, const char *salt);
*/
#include <unistd.h>
main(){
char key[256];
char salt[64];
char passwd[256];
printf("key:");
scanf("%s",&key);
printf("salt:");
scanf("%s",&salt);
sprintf(passwd,"passwd:%s\n",crypt(key,salt));
printf(passwd);
}
[root@linux root]# gcc -o crypt -s crypt.c –lcrypt
[root@linux root]# ./crypt
key:chen
salt:salt
passwd:sa0hRW/W3DLvQ
[root@linux root]#
