htpasswd with empty password (more)

Hi KP

I guess it is possible to check against an empty password using the new
htpasswd executable, at leat the one from the apache2 works as specified

...

I checked with the htpasswd utility on LEAF, unfortunately this version
is _not_ the complete one from the apache2 distribution and does not
allow verification.

Now using the pwcrypt variant it looks like a verification is possible

This generates an empty password

AP# pwcrypt ""
p/BQnHmqN25Y6AP#

Here we try to verify/regenerate the empty password

AP# pwcrypt -s p/  ""
p/BQnHmqN25Y6AP#

Now obviously the hashes match, we can deduct that this is the empty
password and react accordingly.

cheers

ET
