the & has a special meaning within your shell. its NOT an htpasswd issue, if the shell manual is too big (normaly is) try using quotes or escaping the amp with a downstroke.

Hi, When I try to add a new user with htpasswd on the command line, it takes every thing after "f&" as a new command then hangs waiting for some input after "Adding password for user jtest" and when I enter Ctrl c it completes the command adding user "jtest" with a password "f" any help would be greatly appreciated Thanks, Brian [EMAIL PROTECTED] ~]# htpasswd -b /etc/opt/CollabNet_Subversion/conf/svn_auth_file jtest f&5H%c [1] 23374 -bash: 5H%c: command not found [EMAIL PROTECTED] ~]# Adding password for user jtest [1]+ Done htpasswd -b /etc/opt/CollabNet_Subversion/conf/svn_auth_file jtest f [EMAIL PROTECTED] ~]# <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
