Description of problem: Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): 2.0.40-21.9 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Install httpd rpm 2. /usr/bin/dbmmanage 3. Actual results: -bash: /usr/bin/dbmmanage: No such file or directory Expected results: Usage: dbmmanage [enc] dbname command [username [pw [group[,group] [comment]]]] where enc is -d for crypt encryption (default except on Win32, Netware) -m for MD5 encryption (default on Win32, Netware) -s for SHA1 encryption -p for plaintext command is one of: add|adduser|check|delete|import|update|view pw of . for update command retains the old password pw of - (or blank) for update command prompts for the password groups or comment of .

This is the same as the dbmmanage.in file that is in the support directory of httpd-2.0.40.tar.gz in the source package, except that it specifies the exact directory of the perl binary, /usr/bin/perl.
Created attachment 97162 [details] dbmmanage perl script This is the missing perl script.
Thanks for the report. htdbm should be used instead of dbmmanage with the 2.0-based packages: this is covered along with other migration issues in /usr/share/doc/httpd-2.0.40/migration.html.
Thanks for the rapid pointer, Joe. However, why do you still have the manual pages for dbmmanage, but no manual page for htdbm? #rpm -ql httpd | grep dbmmanage /usr/share/man/man1/dbmmanage.1.gz #man htdbm No manual entry for htdbm RHEL 3.0 doesn't appear to have this problem, or a man page for htdbm (I know man pages are awful, but the habit of 12 years is hard to break). Anyway, I shall try to use htdbm instead.
The presence of dbmmanage.1 and lack of htdbm.1 are genuine bugs, yes, thanks.
