mosquitto_passwd -b is using username as password

[jado]

I am reinstalling my mqtt broker using 2.0.2, and the ansible role creates the passwd file using a loop with:

mosquitto_passwd -b /etc/mosquitto/passwd  user1  password1

None of the users could connect.
I confirmed on the command line that mosquitto_passwd is using the username as password.

I could connect using

username: user1
password: password1

the error seems to be in mosquitto/apps/mosquitto_passwd/mosquitto_passwd.c

line 505

	}else if(batch_mode == true && idx+3 == argc){
		password_file_tmp = argv[idx];
		username = argv[idx+1];
		password_cmd = argv[idx+1];

should be

	}else if(batch_mode == true && idx+3 == argc){
		password_file_tmp = argv[idx];
		username = argv[idx+1];
		password_cmd = argv[idx+2];  <<<<--- change here

Thanks very much, I agree with your suggestion. That is now fixed and will be in 2.0.3.
