Re: htpasswd problem adding user

the & has a special meaning within your shell. its NOT an htpasswd issue, if the shell manual is too big (normaly is) try using quotes or escaping the amp with a downstroke.

Hi,

When I try to add a new user with htpasswd on the command line, it takes every thing after "f&"
as a new command then  hangs waiting for some input after "Adding password for user jtest" and when I enter
Ctrl c it completes the command adding user "jtest" with a password "f"

any help would be greatly appreciated
Thanks,
Brian
