Confused By The Instructions

[Scott Hiemstra]

You can use 'htpasswd -n USERNAME' which will then prompt you for a password.  You can then paste the returned hash into the user file.  I think you can also simply grab a hash from your system password file but I've never tried it.

encryted password for a user.  I don't understand how to encrypt the
password.
