[SOLVED] standalone htpasswd without apache

entz · 09-02-2010, 10:43 AM

hi ,

i'm trying to find a standalone htpasswd that works from the terminal without having to install apache

where can i find something like that ?

doesn't linux have a default utility for encrypting unix-style passwd files ?

cheers

Code:

#!/usr/bin/perl
use strict;
 
my $passWord=$ARGV[0];
print crypt($passWord,$passWord)."\n";

Found here.

hi,
what does $ARGV[0] stores and how the following syntax will work

my $passWord=$ARGV[0];
print crypt($passWord,$passWord)."n";

thanx in advance
