RE: Generating Passwords for Storing in thepasswd f ile

Hi!!
My problem is that I need to manage the passwd file from within my Java
Web Application. Therefore smartCVS as a utility is of no help. What I
wanted to know whether there is a way of generating the passwords in the
form that they are stored in the passwd file. Currently I am using the
Keygen.exe provided with the CVSNT server to MANUALLY generate the
passwords and then add them to the passwd file for my application I need
to automate my process.

		Yes, you're right. SmartCVS Professional can manage the 
		pserver-repository's passwd-file.
