I would like to learn about password protecting my web page.
They tell me to make a .htaccess file and then run htpasswd
like so: htpasswd -c <filename> <username>

They dont mention anything about salt.  htpasswd gives me the
error: "Usage: htpasswd [salt]"

Any good places to learn more about htpasswd and crypt() etc. ?

Also do many of you use web-authoring tools that work better than
vi :) and produce relatively clean (minimal) HTML? Just curious.
