Have you looked at the apache documentation at http://httpd.apache.org? – mdpc Dec 24 '12 at 07:12

Also worth noting: Nagios can use any auth mechanism that httpd can use; there are literally dozens of them. htpasswd is probably not the best option. – Keith Dec 26 '12 at 19:19

The apache package already provides a program called htpasswd that does this for you.
However, you will still have to adjust your apache configuration to enable the authentication to take place. Just having a generated password file will not cause apache to use it.

The htpasswd binary, included with Apache, is what you should use to manage an htpasswd file.
