+This directory includes some utilities to allow Apache 1.3.6 to 
+recognize passwords in SHA1 format, as used by Netscape web servers.  
+
+From Netscape's admin interface, export the password database to an 
+ldif file and then use convert.pl in this distribution to generate 
+apache style password files.  
+
+Note: SHA1 support is useful for migration purposes, but is less
+      secure than Apache's password format, since Apache's (MD5)
+      password format uses a random eight character salt to generate
+      one of many possible hashes for the same password.  Netscape
+      uses plain SHA1 without a salt, so the same password
+      will always generate the same hash, making it easier
+      to break since the search space is smaller.
+
+This code was contributed by Clinton Wong <clintdw@netcom.com>.
