I ran into a problem last night that I was able to solve, but generated a question:
I have this hosting provider (uses Debian OS) on which I can't use htpasswd to generate user and password to protect a single file. To have this done I solved it as follows: did a htpasswd on my own server (FreeBSD 7) and simply copied the file with the user:password (scrambled) to my home directory I have with this hosting provider and referred in the .htaccess to it. And now comes the fun stuff: it worked without probs. So the algorithm that is used on FreeBSD to scramble a user password is the same as it is used by Debian? Isn't that a security gap?
