Hello again,
You guys might remember me from the "Apache problems" thread. And because this forum is the only one that actually helped me out after months of problems I was hoping you could help me with something related.
Now if you remember the final code that we made for creating an account on a SQUID proxy server that is what we will be dealing with. If not then here it is:
Now the code works fine, the only problem is that it wors fine with stub values. I need user input, so that a user can input a desired username and a desired password and then those strings would be passed to the python script which would then fill in the data. Now I looked around on google and a few friends and we tried this script:
Hi! I'm somewhat new to Unix (I use it to fiddle, but not seriously), and at my work I have come to use it quite a bit. My question is this:
I want to create a script to take the tedium out of repetitious tasks. However, I need to pass a file name into the script in order for it to work.

htpasswd
htpasswd(1) General Commands Manual htpasswd(1)NAME
htpasswd - Create and update user authentication files
SYNOPSIS
htpasswd [ -c ] [ -m ] passwdfile username
htpasswd -b [ -c ] [ -m | -d | -p | -s ] passwdfile username password
htpasswd -n [ -m | -d | -s | -p ] username
htpasswd -nb [ -m | -d | -s | -p ] username password
DESCRIPTION
htpasswd is used to create and update the flat-files used to store usernames and password for basic authentication of HTTP users. If
htpasswd cannot access a file, such as not being able to write to the output file or not being able to read the file in order to update it,
it returns an error status and makes no changes.
Resources available from the httpd Apache web server can be restricted to just the users listed in the files created by htpasswd. This
program can only manage usernames and passwords stored in a flat-file. It can encrypt and display password information for use in other
types of data stores, though. To use a DBM database see dbmmanage.
htpasswd encrypts passwords using either a version of MD5 modified for Apache, or the system's crypt() routine. Files managed by htpasswd
may contain both types of passwords; some user records may have MD5-encrypted passwords while others in the same file may have passwords
encrypted with crypt().
This manual page only lists the command line arguments. For details of the directives necessary to configure user authentication in httpd
see the Apache manual, which is part of the Apache distribution or can be found at <URL:http://www.apache.org/>.
OPTIONS -b Use batch mode; i.e., get the password from the command line rather than prompting for it. This option should be used with extreme
care, since the password is clearly visible on the command line.
-c Create the passwdfile. If passwdfile already exists, it is rewritten and truncated. This option cannot be combined with the -n
option.
-n Display the results on standard output rather than updating a file. This is useful for generating password records acceptable to
Apache for inclusion in non-text data stores. This option changes the syntax of the command line, since the passwdfile argument
(usually the first one) is omitted. It cannot be combined with the -c option.
-m Use MD5 encryption for passwords. On Windows and TPF, this is the default.
-d Use crypt() encryption for passwords. The default on all platforms but Windows and TPF. Though possibly supported by htpasswd on all
platforms, it is not supported by the httpd server on Windows and TPF.
-s Use SHA encryption for passwords. Facilitates migration from/to Netscape servers using the LDAP Directory Interchange Format (ldif).
-p Use plaintext passwords. Though htpasswd will support creation on all platforms, the httpd daemon will only accept plain text pass-
words on Windows and TPF.
passwdfile
Name of the file to contain the user name and password. If -c is given, this file is created if it does not already exist, or
rewritten and truncated if it does exist.
username
The username to create or update in passwdfile. If username does not exist in this file, an entry is added. If it does exist, the
password is changed.
password
The plaintext password to be encrypted and stored in the file. Only used with the -b flag.
EXIT STATUS
htpasswd returns a zero status ("true") if the username and password have been successfully added or updated in the passwdfile. htpasswd
returns 1 if it encounters some problem accessing files, 2 if there was a syntax problem with the command line, 3 if the password was
entered interactively and the verification entry didn't match, 4 if its operation was interrupted, 5 if a value is too long (username,
filename, password, or final computed record), and 6 if the username contains illegal characters (see the RESTRICTIONS section).
EXAMPLES
htpasswd /usr/local/etc/apache/.htpasswd-users jsmith
Adds or modifies the password for user jsmith. The user is prompted for the password. If executed on a Windows system, the pass-
word will be encrypted using the modified Apache MD5 algorithm; otherwise, the system's crypt() routine will be used. If the file
does not exist, htpasswd will do nothing except return an error.
htpasswd -c /home/doe/public_html/.htpasswd jane
Creates a new file and stores a record in it for user jane. The user is prompted for the password. If the file exists and cannot
be read, or cannot be written, it is not altered and htpasswd will display a message and return an error status.
htpasswd -mb /usr/web/.htpasswd-all jones Pwd4Steve
Encrypts the password from the command line (Pwd4Steve) using the MD5 algorithm, and stores it in the specified file.
SECURITY CONSIDERATIONS
Web password files such as those managed by htpasswd should not be within the Web server's URI space -- that is, they should not be fetch-
able with a browser.
The use of the -b option is discouraged, since when it is used the unencrypted password appears on the command line.
RESTRICTIONS
On the Windows and MPE platforms, passwords encrypted with htpasswd are limited to no more than 255 characters in length. Longer passwords
will be truncated to 255 characters.
The MD5 algorithm used by htpasswd is specific to the Apache software; passwords encrypted using it will not be usable with other Web
servers.
Usernames are limited to 255 bytes and may not include the character ':'.
