I think the htpasswd file has to be .htpasswd and not just .passwd
I cannot see that!!!
I have a

/srv/www/vhosts/xx.xx.xx/cgi-bin/vqadmin/.htaccess     for the web site

and

AuthUserFile /srv/www/vqadmin.passwd    where the passwords are stored.


I made another test:
I copied the .htaccess to another website into the htdocs directory and added 
the lines into httpd.conf for this directory. And it works there!

Either vpopmail or apache does not like to handle the .htaccess file in the 
cgi-directory.

Any thoughts?

Change both of those and see what happens :)

What do I miss?
