It's htpasswd and not passwd. As many others on this group i don't use the redhat config system it's lame. You will be better off editing httpd.conf and adding an AllowOverrides directive.
best regards

Question:
I want to create an .htaccess file to protect my files
I did the passwrd -c /directory/file frank
the set a password and then confirmed the password
I created a .htaccess file with vi and put this in it.
AuthName "restricted stuff" AuthType Basic AuthUserFile /var/password/frank
require valid-user
then in the redhat http server utitily under server settings
I went tot he virtual directory section and created a new
virtual dir called virtual 0 and check marked the box at the
bottom for .htaccess protection.
I restart the server and then go to another computer and put in the URL and no password box comes up.
:(
