Can anyone recommend an Apache passwd utility?

Anybody have any first hand experience?

I'm looking for an Apache password utility that will do three things:

1) Allow my users to sign themselves up and have their username/password added to the Apache passwd file.

2) Allow them to reset or retrieve lost passwords without sysadmin intervention.

3) Enforce strong password rules when setting a password.

I don't want a bunch of fancy stuff. The simpler the better. I looked at some of the major web sites that peddle scripts and my head is spinning. So many features and so many to choose from.

I actually purchased a product from Ascad that I found on the hotscripts web site but it turned out to be way more complicated than I needed. I ended up throwing it away. I don't want to waste any more money.

Does anybody have first hand experience with any of these Apache passwd management scripts?

I might add... I don't need the tool to password protect directories or manage .htaccess files. Since I only have one Apache password file, all I need is a way to manage users and passwords in that one password file. That's it, very limited. I've thought about writing my own but I'm sure it would be "reinventing the wheel."
