Rather than export into an .htpasswd file, you might want to look at
mod_auth_mysql or similar apache modules that get the authentication
information from an SQL database.  This eliminates the need for file system
access, and mod_auth_mysql supports groups as well as user, passwords so is
quite flexible.

Once at a social gathering, Gladstone said to Disraeli, ``I predict,
Sir, that you will die either by hanging or of some vile disease''.
Disraeli replied, "That all depends upon whether I embrace your
principles or your mistress".
