htpasswd.exe some work some don't

password access inconsistant

[HawkCode]

Hi,

I have a user base of 6676 users that all have passwords. We are an organization and update the password file about every 2 weeks as new members come in. I have a perl script I run on my windows box that parses through a TAB delimited file with username password and creates the file used by Apache.

For some reason I have 2 users that I know of that cannot get access with their username and password.

Users imediatly before and after have no problem and their is nothing odd about the data.

If anyone has an idea I would love to here it.

HawkCode,

Welcome to WebmasterWorld!

Have you tried using these 'broken' usernames/passwords yourself to confirm the problem?

If they don't work for you either, then I'd suspect an error in the script that produced them.

Yes I Have and I thought that also. It's a txt file that is processed with a perl program, written by someone else, but I quickly figured it out and it seems to work ok.

It steps through the file calling htpasswrd and the output is appended to the encrypted password file.

The lines above and below work fine. If you want I can post the program here.

Thanks
