To my knowledge dbmmanage has been obsoleted in favor of htdbm. While the two programs perform identical functions their output differ and so I had to rewrite some perl. The changes were minor and did not take long to make. Also check the archives for a post I made back on 01/21/2006 Subject: htdbm. The man page seems to be incorrect regarding htdbm -l usage.
Thanks for the information. That's completely new to me. I went with the documentation at apache.org and even the 2.2 documentation mentions only dbmmanage. And 2.2 again has new directives and completely new module names in this area over 2.0. Argh :-( I just found out that after upgrading to Apache 2.0 all the AuthDBUserFile stuff stopped to work and once I had found out the correct directives and correct DB type to use the databases again I didn't find dbmmanage. In the mean time I copied it over from a Suse machine and it still works fine in conjunction with Apache 2. And htdbm indeed is on the system and it even works the way it's okay for me. I just need to add the database type. I also read the thread from January now and am warned, but it probably won't affect my usage. Thanks again!
