okay, I will do that. :-)
Also I'm not sure in all cases if it is a problem of the documentation or if it depends on other things (e.g. in the Ubuntu polygraph package the names of the executables are different and polypxy doesn't exist).

I have to admit that I wrote a small Java program to solve that problem instead of modifying the C code of web polygraph. It uses the htpasswd executable (from the apache-util package) for creating the apache-style password files.

Sorry, some Polygraph features are not yet fully documented. Feel free to file a bug report for the ones you noticed -- it will help developers to keep track of what they need to fix:

Sure, that approach should work. Please also consider adding a DES(?) wrapping function to the pgl2ldif program instead. It would be a generally useful addition that allows anybody to easily produce htpasswd-style files from PGL workloads.


Cheers,
