Here´s what working for me:

[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ grep -i auth /etc/apache/httpd.conf | egrep -v "^\#"
LoadModule auth_module /usr/lib/apache/1.3/mod_auth.so
     AllowOverride FileInfo AuthConfig Limit
          AuthType Basic
          AuthUserFile /etc/apache/hawara.pwf
          AuthName "nua hawara"

cheers,
