Garret,
have a look at the /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf file. Search for the section
<directory your_ibay_path></directory>. Inside you will find the directive
'AllowOverride None', which means that .htaccess files are to be ignored. Set
it to an appropriate value: All, AuthConfig etc. 'All' will work for everything.
On a standard Linux box you could directly change this file. On a e-smith it is
recommended
to create a custom template. Otherwise your modification will be lost, when the
httpd.conf
is recreated by an event.
Hope that helps.
Michael
