Man on man am I stressed. My .htpasswd file has over 77,000 entries in it and it causes errors sometimes when HTTPD calls upon it. Is there anyway to break it up into multiple files so it can be searched faster? If there is any easy way to allow my 77k members to login faster please, please, help me..

Regards,
Paul

You really need to look at other ways to authenticate. If you have control over your server, you can install AuthDBM which will store the names in a DBM file which will get much faster lookups. Ask your ISP to do this for you if you don't have access.
