Hello all, OK. I'm slowly getting things working here. On my old version of httpd, I included in my /etc/httpd/conf/access.conf file: ## ## access.conf -- Apache HTTP server configuration file ## # This is the default file for the AccessConfig directive in httpd.conf. # It is processed after httpd.conf and srm.conf. # # <Directory /blah/blah/> AuthType Basic AuthName "The passworded directory" AuthUserFile /blah/blah/passwordfile require valid-user This used to work under RedHat 9, where it forced you to log in to acces sthe directory. Now, the directory is unprotected. Did something change with this version of Apache? Yep, the password file is still there. ******************************************************************************* Gilbert Sebenste ******** (My opinions only!) ****** Staff Meteorologist, Northern Illinois University **** E-mail: gilbert@xxxxxxx *** web: http://weather.admin.niu.edu ** Work phone: 815-753-5492 * *******************************************************************************
