I actually got it working. here is what i was doing. I have a web app that has an md5 hashed password in a config file and another web app that will use a std .htaccess file. i want to keep the username and passwords in sync when setting up these 2 web apps. i am writing a script to automaticaly setup the 2 apps. i was having a problem getting the passwords hashed correctly for each location. I was able to fix the php issue - solution shown on previous post. now it looks like .htpasswd doesn't like the -b switch - but i'm still testing. ----- Original Message ----- From: Stephen Gran <steve@lobefin.net> To: Philadelphia Linux User's Group Discussion List <plug@lists.phillylinux.org> Sent: Friday, April 27, 2007 11:33:55 AM GMT-0500 Subject: Re: [PLUG] md5 problem On Thu, Apr 26, 2007 at 11:08:48PM -0400, W.

Can you be more clear on what you're doing, so I can try to understand the problem a little better? I.e., where are the passwords coming from, and in what form (clear text, already hashed, etc) and what are you comparing them to (database record of hashed password, htpasswd file, etc). -- -------------------------------------------------------------------------- | Stephen Gran | Experience is what you get when you | | steve@lobefin.net | were expecting something else. | | http://www.lobefin.net/~steve | | -------------------------------------------------------------------------- -- W.
