It should be the same. I see no reason they would have changed
it. Basically you can save your master password file and copy the
encrypted strings back into the 4.0 password file.
I think it uses the standard Unix crypt command to generate these
encrypted passwords. I have swapped these passwords between apache
.htpasswd files in the past without making any changes.
Just copy the string from colon to colon...
