It does now.  It did not when I first ran the command, however
I just created the directory /passwd/passwords
and re ran the command as root, and still no luck. 

 

PS, I think there are some permission requirements for the directory and file as well.  I think they have to be owned by 'apache'. 

 

The dirs were owned by root, so I just chown'ed to apache, re ran the command

/usr/bin/htpasswd -c /passwd/passwords famsite, still no luck.
