htpasswd does not include user info field

           Summary: htpasswd does not include user info field
           Product: Apache httpd-1.3
           Version: 1.3.27
          Platform: All
        OS/Version: All
            Status: NEW
          Severity: Enhancement
          Priority: Other
         Component: Auth/Access
        AssignedTo: [email protected]
        ReportedBy: [EMAIL PROTECTED]


htpasswd creates AuthUserFiles that do not have a way to identify or contact
the user. With just a user id and a password field it is difficult to track
who the user is in large, and/or transitional communities.

The htpasswd utitility should have a user info field added and the httpd needs
to be modified to read the new format.

Example:

Current htpasswd file:  (username:encrypted password)

fred:xfd56#1
bill:w23(#aSe

Add an info field. Should be more like:
(username:encrypted password:user information)

fred:xfd56#1:Fred Jones, Finance
bill:w23(#aS:Bill Taylor, Personnel

Thanks,
Gary T.
