I have an htaccess file and a .htpasswd file. They ARE correctly written and placed. htpasswd compiled flawlessly and generated the .htpasswd file. I wrote the htaccess file for un/pw authentication. htaccess is: AuthUserFile /usr/local/www/default/.htpasswd AuthGroupFile /dev/null AuthName Admin AuthType Basic <Limit GET> require admin </Limit> htpasswd is at /usr/local/www/default/.htpasswd and looks like this: admin:G6tXAWsg87hUo The web browser correctly challenge the user when the directory under the html root is accessed, but It will not pass authentication. Authentication continues to fail! Any ideas what is wrong. I needed no library modifications to find the crypt() function when htpasswd was compiled. Thanks, Jim Moses
