I'd add a change to Sam Nicholson's suggestion..
> find . -type d -exec cp .htpasswd {} \;

..which is to use ln, not cp.

Keeping and managing umpteen copies of the same file is daft. As long as
you're in the same filesystem, linking to the same file is the obvious
choice. Since it's only one file, you only need to update one file.

If you traverse filesytems, then you do want to copy (once), since
symlinks won't work.
