You need to specify the "AllowOverride AuthConfig" directive for that directory in one of the main config files (e.g., /etc/apache/access.conf).

Inside the directory have the following .htaccess: AuthType basic AuthName rinet AuthUserfile /etc/apache/htpasswd require user bartjan When I try to authentificate myself, I get in error.log: [Tue Aug 17 16:13:20 1999] [error] (13)Permission denied: access to /rinet/ failed for 10.2.100.11, reason: Authentication failure Passwd file was produced with htpasswd and does contain the user bartjan. I tried to authentificate myself numerous times, so mistyping the password is not the problem. auth_module is loaded in httpd.conf The systems I tested on are Slink systems, but with Potato libc6 (2.1.2-0pre2) and a few other upgrades. Kernels 2.2.5 and 2.2.6 Tot ziens, Bart-Jan -- Unsubscribe? mail -s unsubscribe [EMAIL PROTECTED] < /dev/null
