Right.  That part I can do just using an option for the 'htpasswd'
command.  The problem comes when we try to change group memberships.
And...even though this is fairly easy...changing a PW and/or deleting a
user.  But the biggest thing is the group membership file.  I don't know
how to code the following:

(group file)
Group1: user1 user2 user3
Group2: user2 user4
Group3: user1 user2 user4

Then how to delete user 2 out of everything, how to delete user4 out of
group2, and how to add user1 to group2...just as examples.  I know it's
got to be fairly easy..and if I finish the pages/scripts, I'd gladly
post them to the ports collection.  The way I was doing it was using a
web page as a front end, then having the web page (in php) call a
bash/awk script to actually do the work, so it's a little more secure.
Any ideas on how to code this?

Thanks,
--Brian

you want the crypt function.

remember, an htpasswd line is simply:

$username:crypt($password, $salt)
