I'm trying to use Apache directory authentication using .htaccess on FreeBSD 3.3. I realised that my complied htpasswd created password (starting with $1$ meaning using MD5) which is different from password created from adduser (also using MD5). I can make .htaccess work if I copy the encrypted password from the /etc/master.passwd file and paste into the AuthUserFile created by htpasswd. The system is using one system of reading the password for authentication for both .htaccess in Apache and the FreeBSD user login. But creation of password is different so how can I make htpasswd create the same encrypted password as when I use the "adduser" command. Thank you. Desparately needing an answer.
