Subject: Re: [users@httpd] htaccess problem

Found the answer, so I figured I'd post it here so someone else searching=
 the=20
archives can find an answer:
The short answer is mod_auth_pam.

The longer answer is that on the raq's (and many other installs), mod_aut=
h_pam=20
is installed (http://pam.sourceforge.net/mod_auth_pam/). The nature of th=
is=20
plugin is contrary to what I was trying to accomplish. What I needed to d=
o=20
was add a line to the top of my .htaccess or access.conf file:
AuthPAM_Enabled off

This fixes it.
