htpasswd - blank password from command line?

[Wayne Allen <wayne@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

I'm automating the generation of a .htpasswd file from another data source. I've been successful in all aspects except for one user account which doesn't have a password. (yes I know, but in this case is does make some sense).

Is there a way with the -b switch to add a user without supplying a password. If I do it interactively I can supply an empty password.

Thanks,

Wayne
