    hi to all,
    I'm a newbie to Apache2 and I'm using the version that comes with Suse 9.3 DVD.
    My problem is the htpasswd command that cannot be found when I type in a shell. I wonder why it is not found, do I need to install something or configure. Please help me I'm really don't know how to run this. I really need the htpasswd for my Subversion security access thru http.

    thanks in advance.

    You need to set up two files.

    1. you need to create .htaccess or, if it already exists, add the following lines to it:

    AuthUserFile /path/to/members/.htpasswd
AuthGroupFile /path/to/members
AuthName "protected-directory-name"
AuthType Basic

<Limit GET POST>
require valid-user
</Limit>
    Code (markup):
    2. you need to create .htpassword containing the following:

    username:encrypted-password
    Code (markup):
    all on one line like that.

    To create the password:
