re: bozo .htpasswd exposure



OK, i've commited fixes for all these problems to -current.

one additional comment:

this conditional sould be OK.  either basename is NULL or
it points to a non-nul char of a nul-terminated string,
so basename[1] should be valid to check.

thanks again for your research finding flaws in bozohttpd.
