Unpack the apache source.  It's in the /cdrom/ports/distfiles, and
it contains the source code of htpasswd.c.

If all you need is a single new entry for your .htpasswd file, for
user `joe' with the password `randompass', you can also use:

perl -e 'srand(time);$salt=sprintf("%02x",rand(0xff));\
print $ARGV[0] . ":" . crypt($ARGV[1], $salt) . "\n"' joe randompass
