+ <dd>Use batch mode; <em>i.e.</em>, get the password from the command line

+ the <code>-n</code> option.</dd>
+
+ <dt><code>-n</code></dt>
+ <dd>Display the results on standard output rather than updating a
+ database. This option changes the syntax of the command line, since the
+ <var>passwdfile</var> argument (usually the first one) is omitted. It
+ cannot be combined with the <code>-c</code> option.</dd>
+
+ <dt><code>-m</code></dt>
+ <dd>Use MD5 encryption for passwords. On Windows, Netware and TPF, this is
+ the default.</dd>
+
+ <dt><code>-d</code></dt>
+ <dd>Use <code>crypt()</code> encryption for passwords. The default on all
+ platforms but Windows, Netware and TPF. Though possibly supported by
+ <code>htdbm</code> on all platforms, it is not supported by the
+ <code class="program"><a href="../programs/httpd.html">httpd</a></code> server on Windows, Netware and TPF.</dd>
+
+ <dt><code>-s</code></dt>
+ <dd>Use SHA encryption for passwords. Facilitates migration from/to Netscape
+ servers using the LDAP Directory Interchange Format (ldif).</dd>
+
+ <dt><code>-p</code></dt>
+ <dd>Use plaintext passwords. Though <code>htdbm</code> will support
+ creation on all platforms, the <code class="program"><a href="../programs/httpd.html">httpd</a></code> daemon will
+ only accept plain text passwords on Windows, Netware and TPF.</dd>
+
+ <dt><code>-l</code></dt>
+ <dd>Print each of the usernames and comments from the database on
+ stdout.</dd>
+
+ <dt><code>-t</code></dt>
+ <dd>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.</dd>
+
+ <dt><code>-v</code></dt>
+ <dd>Verify the username and password. The program will print a message
+ indicating whether the supplied password is valid. If the password is
+ invalid, the program exits with error code 3.</dd>
+
+ <dt><code>-x</code></dt>
+ <dd>Delete user. If the username exists in the specified DBM file, it
+ will be deleted.</dd>
+
+ <dt><code><var>filename</var></code></dt>
+ <dd>The filename of the DBM format file. Usually without the extension
+ <code>.db</code>, <code>.pag</code>, or <code>.dir</code>. If

+<h2><a name="bugs" id="bugs">Bugs</a></h2>
+ <p>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, GNU GDBM, and Berkeley/Sleepycat DB 2/3/4. Unfortunately,
+ all these libraries use different file formats, and you must make sure
+ that the file format used by <var>filename</var> is the same format that
+ <code>htdbm</code> expects to see. <code>htdbm</code> 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.</p>
+
+ <p>One can usually use the <code>file</code> program supplied with most
+ Unix systems to see what format a DBM file is in.</p>

+<h2><a name="exit" id="exit">Exit Status</a></h2>
+ <p><code>htdbm</code> returns a zero status ("true") if the username and
+ password have been successfully added or updated in the DBM File.
+ <code>htdbm</code> returns <code>1</code> if it encounters some problem
+ accessing files, <code>2</code> if there was a syntax problem with the
+ command line, <code>3</code> if the password was entered interactively and
+ the verification entry didn't match, <code>4</code> if its operation was
+ interrupted, <code>5</code> if a value is too long (username, filename,
+ password, or final computed record), <code>6</code> if the username
+ contains illegal characters (see the <a href="#restrictions">Restrictions
+ section</a>), and <code>7</code> if the file is not a valid DBM password
+ file.</p>

+ htdbm /usr/local/etc/apache/.htdbm-users jsmith
+ </code></p></div>
+
+ <p>Adds or modifies the password for user <code>jsmith</code>. The user
+ is prompted for the password. If executed on a Windows system, the password
+ will be encrypted using the modified Apache MD5 algorithm; otherwise, the
+ system's <code>crypt()</code> routine will be used. If the file does not
+ exist, <code>htdbm</code> will do nothing except return an error.</p>
+
+ <div class="example"><p><code>
+ htdbm -c /home/doe/public_html/.htdbm jane
+ </code></p></div>
+
+ <p>Creates a new file and stores a record in it for user <code>jane</code>.
+ The user is prompted for the password. If the file exists and cannot be
+ read, or cannot be written, it is not altered and <code>htdbm</code>
+ will display a message and return an error status.</p>
+
+ <div class="example"><p><code>
+ htdbm -mb /usr/web/.htdbm-all jones Pwd4Steve
+ </code></p></div>
+
+ <p>Encrypts the password from the command line (<code>Pwd4Steve</code>)

+<h2><a name="security" id="security">Security Considerations</a></h2>
+ <p>Web password files such as those managed by <code>htdbm</code> should
+ <em>not</em> be within the Web server's URI space -- that is, they should
+ not be fetchable with a browser.</p>
+
+ <p>The use of the <code>-b</code> option is discouraged, since when it is

+<h2><a name="restrictions" id="restrictions">Restrictions</a></h2>
+ <p>On the Windows and MPE platforms, passwords encrypted with
+ <code>htdbm</code> are limited to no more than <code>255</code>
+ characters in length. Longer passwords will be truncated to 255
+ characters.</p>
+
+ <p>The MD5 algorithm used by <code>htdbm</code> is specific to the Apache
+ software; passwords encrypted using it will not be usable with other Web
+ servers.</p>
