RE: [LI] .htaccess problems.

In Perl, here's how you generate a random salt for crypt:

	$salt = join ( '' , ( '.' , '/' , 0..9 , 'A'..'Z' ,
				'a'..'z' ) [rand 64 , rand 64] ) ;

If you want to create your own encrypted password, if the plaintext is 
in $plaintext, in Perl:

	$cryptedPassword = crypt ( $plaintext , $salt ) ;

HTH,
