...(about ignoring additional colon-delimited fields in htpasswd)...
Two issues
1 Using loging passwords _is_ a bad idea, true. This is a
user-documentation issue though (since users can always
"cut -f1,2 /etc/passwd > htpasswd" anyway).
2 This doesn't mean we should prevent people using extra fields
in htpasswd. There have been several (many) patches for this
suggested and requested in the past. It is a good idea. There are
lots of uses for extra fields. A big +1 for implementation in 1.2.1.
