The new File_Passwd package provides facilities to manage many different kinds of password files.
Unix, CVS, SMB, AuthUserFile, AuthDigestFile and custom formatted passwd files.
passwd-style means, the file has a format like this:
user<delimiter>password
The delimiting character is usually the colon.
With the new File_Passwd_Custom class you can choose your delimiting character, but be aware that any column of your passwd file MUST NOT contain the delimiter!
