[1] Files in this package

    htadmin.pl  > the script to administer multiple .htaccess users
    readme.txt  > this text file

[2] Instructions for use

    > Upload the file htadmin.pl in ASCII format, to the folder you want to password protect
    > CHMOD htadmin.pl to 755 (rwxr-xr-x)
    > open a browser window and go to the folder you have just uploaded to
    > run the htadmin.pl file
    
[3] Options

    > Modify an existing user: 	This allows you to change the password for an existing user.
    > Create a new user      : 	This allows you to create a new user who will be able to access the 
    				protected folder with the password you create.
    > Delete Existing User Account: 	Remove a user from the allowed list
    > Reset the protection: 		Clears all users except admin
    > Delete all protection: 		Return the folder back to a normal web folder without protection

[4] Notes

    > The script will automatically detect whether it has been initialised. If it finds that this is the first time 
      it has been run, it will create a default username/password. These are:
    
      username: admin
      password: password. 
    
      This is the default username and password to run the htadmin.pl script. This username and password are also 
      set in the .htaccess file, so the folder the script is in is immediately password-protected.
    
    > If you use the "Delete All Protection" option, then the folder becomes accessible to everone. To protect the
      folder again, simply re-run .htadmin.pl
    
[5] Support

    > There are no configurable settings in this script, so do not change anything! If you do, then we will not be
      able to offer any support unless previously agreed.
    > All bugs, comments and queries should be directed to support@names.co.uk
    

[6] Updates
    
    > v1.1 - An unknown permissions bug with htpasswd on the servers was preventing the .htpasswd file to be
             written. Added routines to mimic the htpasswd routine using the crypt command.
