I type the command:
htpasswd -mb .htpassword test sample
(htpasswd is command, -mb means use MD5 and take password from commandline, .htpassword is the file where the passwords are stored, test is the username and sample is the password)

This is the line in the file that was created:
test:$apr1$dHuft...$y4hw7NBQ8v70e7MhZfQ3n/
That's not an MD5 Hash, If it was using MD5 it should look like this:
test:5e8ff9bf55ba3508199d22e984129be6

So, how does htpasswd command go from 5e8ff9bf55ba3508199d22e984129be6 to $apr1$dHuft...$y4hw7NBQ8v70e7MhZfQ3n/ ?

Thanks,
David
