+
+.PP
+dbmmanage is used to create and update the DBM format files used to store usernames and password for basic authentication of HTTP users via mod_auth_dbm\&. Resources available from the Apache HTTP server can be restricted to just the users listed in the files created by dbmmanage\&. This program can only be used when the usernames are stored in a DBM file\&. To use a flat-file database see htpasswd\&.
+
+.PP
+This manual page only lists the command line arguments\&. For details of the directives necessary to configure user authentication in httpd see the httpd manual, which is part of the Apache distribution or can be found at http://httpd\&.apache\&.org/\&.

+.SH "OPTIONS"
+
+
+.TP
+\fIfilename\fR
+The filename of the DBM format file\&. Usually without the extension \&.db, \&.pag, or \&.dir\&.
+.TP
+\fIusername\fR
+The user for which the operations are performed\&. The \fIusername\fR may not contain a colon (:)\&.
+.TP
+\fIencpasswd\fR
+This is the already encrypted password to use for the update and add commands\&. You may use a hyphen (-) if you want to get prompted for the password, but fill in the fields afterwards\&. Additionally when using the update command, a period (\&.) keeps the original password untouched\&.
+.TP
+\fIgroup\fR
+A group, which the user is member of\&. A groupname may not contain a colon (:)\&. You may use a hyphen (-) if you don't want to assign the user to a group, but fill in the comment field\&. Additionally when using the update command, a period (\&.) keeps the original groups untouched\&.

+Reads \fIusername\fR:\fIpassword\fR entries (one per line) from STDIN and adds them to \fIfilename\fR\&. The passwords already have to be crypted\&.
+.TP

+Same as the adduser command, except that it makes sure \fIusername\fR already exists in \fIfilename\fR\&. dbmmanage passwords\&.dat update rbowen
+.TP
+view
+Just displays the contents of the DBM file\&. If you specify a \fIusername\fR, it displays the particular record only\&. dbmmanage passwords\&.dat view
+
+.SH "BUGS"
+
+.PP
+One should be aware that there are a number of different DBM file formats in existence, and with all likelihood, libraries for more than one format may exist on your system\&. The three primary examples are SDBM, NDBM, the GNU project's GDBM, and Berkeley DB 2\&. Unfortunately, all these libraries use different file formats, and you must make sure that the file format used by \fIfilename\fR is the same format that dbmmanage expects to see\&. dbmmanage currently has no way of determining what type of DBM file it is looking at\&. If used against the wrong format, will simply return nothing, or may create a different DBM file with a different name, or at worst, it may corrupt the DBM file if you were attempting to write to it\&.
+
+.PP
+dbmmanage has a list of DBM format preferences, defined by the @AnyDBM::ISA array near the beginning of the program\&. Since we prefer the Berkeley DB 2 file format, the order in which dbmmanage will look for system libraries is Berkeley DB 2, then NDBM, then GDBM and then SDBM\&. The first library found will be the library dbmmanage will attempt to use for all DBM file transactions\&. This ordering is slightly different than the standard @AnyDBM::ISA ordering in Perl, as well as the ordering used by the simple dbmopen() call in Perl, so if you use any other utilities to manage your DBM files, they must also follow this preference ordering\&. Similar care must be taken if using programs in other languages, like C, to access these files\&.
+
+.PP
+One can usually use the file program supplied with most Unix systems to see what format a DBM file is in\&.

+htdbm is used to manipulate the DBM format files used to store usernames and password for basic authentication of HTTP users via mod_auth_dbm\&. See the dbmmanage documentation for more information about these DBM files\&.
+
+
+.SH "OPTIONS"
+
+
+.TP

+Use batch mode; \fIi\&.e\&.\fR, get the password from the command line rather than prompting for it\&. This option should be used with extreme care, since \fBthe password is clearly visible\fR on the command line\&.
+.TP
+-c
+Create the \fIpasswdfile\fR\&. If \fIpasswdfile\fR already exists, it is rewritten and truncated\&. This option cannot be combined with the -n option\&.
+.TP
+-n
+Display the results on standard output rather than updating a database\&. This option changes the syntax of the command line, since the \fIpasswdfile\fR argument (usually the first one) is omitted\&. It cannot be combined with the -c option\&.
+.TP
+-m
+Use MD5 encryption for passwords\&. On Windows, Netware and TPF, this is the default\&.
+.TP
+-d
+Use crypt() encryption for passwords\&. The default on all platforms but Windows, Netware and TPF\&. Though possibly supported by htdbm on all platforms, it is not supported by the httpd server on Windows, Netware and TPF\&.
+.TP
+-s
+Use SHA encryption for passwords\&. Facilitates migration from/to Netscape servers using the LDAP Directory Interchange Format (ldif)\&.
+.TP
+-p
+Use plaintext passwords\&. Though htdbm will support creation on all platforms, the httpd daemon will only accept plain text passwords on Windows, Netware and TPF\&.
+.TP
+-l
+Print each of the usernames and comments from the database on stdout\&.

+-t
+Interpret the final parameter as a comment\&. When this option is specified, an additional string can be appended to the command line; this string will be stored in the "Comment" field of the database, associated with the specified username\&.
