salt.modules.webutil

Support for htpasswd command. Requires the apache2-utils package for Debian-based distros.

The functions here will load inside the webutil module. This allows other functions that don't use htpasswd to use the webutil module name.

Add a user to htpasswd file using the htpasswd command. If the htpasswd file does not exist, it will be created.
