Subject: HTML Password Help [a short OT]

Help!

I used to know where an online source of access (through either a CGI or PERL
script) to an.htpasswd utility was. I don't have a unix box where I can run
.htpassword (durn it) easily and I want to generate some.htaccess files to
secure an area of my website for limited access.

This site I used to be able to find (can't find one now after an hour of
looking) was someplace you could go, type in a password, and get back the
results after crypt() had done its evil work. You just copied it to your
clipboard, pasted into the.htaccess file and voila.... security of a sort.

So if anyone knows where a site like this is.... that'd be real keen if they'd
mail it to me.

BTW - To make a feeble OT attempt - shouldn't Jon be working on an
Infowar supplement for the GZGverse.... after all not all of the fights will
be "actual". Something tells me quite a few will be virtual, the battleground
will by cyberspace or the EM spectrum, and the weapons will be disinformation,
sensors, cloaks, computer programs, EMPs, etc.
