Ach! It should come as no surprise that Mr. Nordstrom is
absolutely correct in all regards. My echo shell built-in doesn't
support the -n. If you also have this problem, try using printf,
eg.
# printf username:realm:password | md5sum | cut -d\ -f1
to generate the hashed password.
I found that the method below did not work, actually. I still
have not figured out just how Apache's htdigest is joining the
several inputs to create the md5 hash, but it isn't
user:realm:password | md5sum.
I finally got digest auth to work by doing the following (the

online with instructions, and they were

works fine authenticating against LDAP as long as I use basic
authentication, but fails using digest whether I use LDAP or a
password file
Any thoughts are most welcome!
