           Summary: add note to manpage that htpasswd/htdigest is not safe
                    for setuid/sudo
           Product: Apache httpd-2
           Version: 2.2-HEAD
          Platform: Other
        OS/Version: All
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: Documentation
        AssignedTo: bugs@httpd.apache.org
        ReportedBy: thijs@debian.org


Hi,

The source code for htpasswd/htdigest contains the following note:

> "NOTE! This program is not safe as a setuid executable!  Do not make it
> setuid!"

Since many users won't be browsing the source code, this should be added to the
"security considerations" of the respective man pages for those programs.

Thanks.
