The auth configuration changed in 2.x from 1.3 -- http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.2/howto/auth.html The sample .htaccess file on that page implies that you need something like -- AuthType Basic AuthName "Restricted Files" AuthBasicProvider file AuthUserFile /local/nagios/etc/nagios.users Require valid-user Hope one of those two helps. -- Marc ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Take Surveys.
