>Description:
Username/passwords within a htpasswd file from pre apache 1.2 are not compatible with apache 1.3.x.  I have customers with approx. 80-100 usernames and passwords in their htpasswd files and all of them will have to be recreated by hand, except that we do not have a list of username/passwords within that file.
>How-To-Repeat:
Go to www.ufaa2.com, username/password is 'Steve Todd'/gundog.  
>Fix:
Create a converter from pre apache 1.2 htpasswd files to apache 1.3 method.
