I have a directory set upon my Apache server so that it can be accessed

corporate secrets etc. :-)
Apache 2.2.4-2 on Linux Fedora Core 6
Is there a way for Apache to use the same userid/password file that is
used when I log on to the Linux system or do I *have* to create a new
password file just for Apache users?
If that's the case, is there a way to keep them in synch so that if I
change my password for Linux access, that same password can be used for
the web site/directory access?
Start here:
http://httpd.apache.org/docs/1.3/misc/FAQ.html#passwdauth
then if you still want to do it, there are various 3rd party modules
like mod_auth_pam and mod_auth_external that can do the job. I've
never used any of them, so I don't know what works best.
