unable to create a new user

I have a new install of NMIS 9.4.4 on a server running Ubuntu 22.

Everything installed fine, and I can login now using the nmis user that comes bundled.

I have created the new user user1 in the nmis9 gui, but when I attempt to create the user at the console I get an error:

root@host1:~# htpasswd -d users.dat user1
htpasswd: cannot modify file users.dat; use '-c' to create it

One thing I tried, in the Config.nmis file I changed the setting:

  'auth_htpasswd_file' => '<nmis_conf>/users.dat',

to

    'auth_htpasswd_file' => '/usr/local/nmis9/conf/users.dat',

But still get the same error. 

Also, using the htpasswd -m switch gets the same error.

thank you

      Sorry, should have waited a couple more minutes. I got it to work using this command:

      htpasswd -m /usr/local/nmis9/conf/users.dat user1
