Thanks. Your example got me on the right track and I set up a simple
realm using:

<Location /servlet/msgboard>
  AuthType Basic
  AuthName msgboard_access
  AuthUserFile /usr/local/apache/conf
  <Limit GET POST>
    require user some_user
  </Limit>
</Location>

I'm new to Apache and I'm having trouble seeing how all the parts fit
together. The docs help but they assume a working knowledge of Apache or
similar systems. Can anyone suggest a good tutorial with lots of
examples?
