Package: apache2-utils
Version: 2.2.6-2
Severity: normal
File: /usr/bin/htpasswd

Hi,

the man page for htpasswd discourages use of -b, because the password
is visible on the command line. That's ok.

However, how is one supposed to set a htpasswd password from a shell
script (like a package postinst) if -b is discouraged? Piping a
password to htpasswd does not seem to work either.

Please advise and document.

Greetings
Marc
