I actually don’t know the answer to this one. I know that there are Windows
implementations of DB files, so I don’t know of any particular reason for it
not to work. But I’ve never tried it myself. I’d love to hear from one of you

get it working.
Summary
mod_auth_db allows you to keep your users, passwords, and
groups, in DB files rather than text files. You get all the usual benefits of
using a database rather than a text file–faster access and better data
reliability, and consequently, you can have larger user lists than you could
support with a text file of users.
