I don't think it matters, "locate" just queries a database.

Yes.

Worth a shot...IT WORKED! I added user "admin" to the "require" line as such:
require valid-user admin
I could then log into Webcal as user "admin". From there, I could add/delete
users and calendars. I added a user using my unix user code, "tpw", with the
correct unix password and I could log in as tpw and create/edit calendars
(without further modification of the .htaccess file). When I tried to log in to
Webcal as another unix user, authentication failed.
So, it looks like users added by admin, and users listed in the .htaccess file,
can use Webcal.
