Hi Mark.

Yay! I followed your provided links back to
        http://ammonlauritzen.com/blog/2006/11/20/no-groups-file/

The author of this site mentions that some of the behaviors previously  
performed by mod_auth are split into separate modules. In addition to  
the modules loaded by default on Leopard Server, I loaded
        mod_authz_user  
        mod_auth_basic
        mod_authz_groupfile

Everything is peachy now. Many thanks!
