htpasswd in 2.039 does not add new users, it just replaces the last one (from the command line). This occurs both before and after applying the (-c -n patch). htpasswd from 1.3.24 can be used successfully with httpd 2.0.39
Fixed in CVS, we weren't adding a newline at the end of each record.
*** Bug 10221 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***
Why did no one look at bug 10221? I had this issue fixed via an attached patch on 6/27, while it was fixed in CVS until 7/2. Basically, I'm just wondering what, if anything, I need to do differently to be heard.
I searched the database for this problem and saw nothing similar, otherwise I would not have posted it.
Just a word. People actually try to track the bug db, but it's mostly done in their spare time, which is quite limited, as you may guess. Thanks for your reports and for using Apache.
