adding users to Apache with dbmmanage.

[auto]

We have just started using Apache and I am trying to enter all of our userids and passwords into Apache using DBMMANAGE. I have been unsuccessful in writing a script to automate this process. I tried to code the dbmmanage adduser command into a script and then pass it the userid and password, but once the first dbmmanage command is entered my script halts and does not answer the screen prompt for the password. it seems that dbmmanage is not passing control back to my script once the command is entered. Any suggestion on how to tackle this problem?

Take a peek at this site:

http://www.serverwatch.com/tutorials/article.php/10825_1129051_3

It talks about how to add users and passwords to your apache file using perl and the DB_File module. It looks as if you can skip dbmmanage altogether.

Thanks raklet, I will check out the DB_File module.
