Bug in htpasswd

           Summary: Bug in htpasswd
           Product: Apache httpd-2.0
           Version: 2.0.39
          Platform: PC
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: NEW
          Severity: Normal
          Priority: Other
         Component: support
        AssignedTo: bugs@httpd.apache.org
        ReportedBy: jvb@andrew.cmu.edu


We found two bugs using htpasswd: 
 
1) When including the -c option, an error always occurs, stating that -c and 
-n option is not allowed, even if the -n option is not included. Documentation 
states that you use this to create a password file, but it doesn't. Rather 
leaving out -c option can already create the password file, when it doesn't 
exist.   
 
2) However, as per documentation htpasswd is supposed to add additional 
password entries, when you call htpasswd again. Unfortunately, it overwrites 
the previously entered password. You have to add an extra space at the end of 
the file, every time, to add passwords at the end. 
 
Is there an existing fix for this?
