Comment:
Instead of adding a program to generate the password hash, document in the
ckpasswd man page shipped with INN how to generate such password hashes.
Fixed in INN 2.5.4 with commit [9489]:
INN does not come with a utility to create the encrypted passwords, but
htpasswd (which comes with Apache) can do so and it's a quick job with
Perl (see the example script under -d, or also below). If using Apache's
htpasswd program, be sure to give it the -d option so that it will use
crypt(3).
A line in filename for the user user with the password pass would be
user:LIfOpbjNaEQYE as obtained by the following commands:
% htpasswd -nbd user pass
user:LIfOpbjNaEQYE
% perl -e 'print "user:".crypt("pass", "LI")."\n";'
user:LIfOpbjNaEQYE
