>Description:
using dbmmanage generates a file without the .db extension.

When presented with a file with a .db extension, it will not view
the contents.

renaming the file to 'sitepasswd.db' allows it to be accessed by
mod_auth_dbm.
>How-To-Repeat:
dbmmanage sitepasswd adduser mmclagan  <<-- generates 'sitepasswd'
AuthDBMUserFile sitepasswd  <<-- in .htaccess

access something in the directory
>Fix:
modify the perl file so that it uses the extension if given?  rename
the output file to accomodate the missing .db ?
