About theonly thing you can do is link against our `scrypt' library
and hack the source code so that Apache & htpasswd will take the
longer passwords (most s/w BROKENLY assumes that you WILL use a DES
password, which is 13 characters long, which is a pity as the scrypt
password (based on the MD5 algorithym) are a lot longer (somewhere
about 64 characters long I think)...)
Sorry I can't help more, most people just install DES, but that isn't
an option for you :-( Perhaps if you ask on ports@freebsd.org you may
find someone who has done the necessary hacking.

(other people who have replied, note his domain ... you are not
allowed to posses crypto code in France (and you though the American
ITAR regulations were bad :-) )
