 Hello,

 I didn't have apache 2 and wanted to run tracd standalone.  However, I ran
 into trouble with authentication, generating a htdigest file from the
 following script on the trac wiki page:

 Generating Passwords Without Apache
 http://projects.edgewall.com/trac/wiki/TracStandalone

 I copied the script into a file called "genpass.py" and ran it as follows:

 C:\Python23\Scripts>python genpass.py -ucowboy -ppassword

 cowboy:trac:12234ded7c880e6d546d236310387979

 tracd would not let me login.  I then downloaded apache2 and ran the
 following apache2 htdigest with "password" as the password:

 C:\Python23\Scripts>c:\apache2\Apache2\bin\htdigest.exe -c users.htdigest
 bigcowboy cowboy

 Adding password for cowboy in realm bigcowboy.

 New password: ********

 Re-type new password: ********

 C:\Python23\Scripts>more users.htdigest

 cowboy:bigcowboy:fda79257aec78ddf729b3caec1a3619a

 I tried to login with trac, and it worked like a charm.  It seems that the
 script on the wiki is generating incorrect hashes.  I hope this helps
 others in the future.

 Thanks,
 cowboy
