Thanks! Ok I ran /usr/bin/htpasswd -c /passwd/passwords famsite as root,
and still got
the cannot create file error.
Does the /passwd directory exist?
It does now. It did not when I first ran the command, however I just created the directory /passwd/passwords and re ran the command as root, and still no luck.
I think you only need to create the directory /passwd, then use 'touch' to create the file, passwords
