I happen to be dealing with exactly the same thing, and it's not working very well.
Setting up the passwd file went fine, but I have a feeling the .htaccess file is
messed up.
BTW on redhat there's no man page for htaccess
What should the permissions/ownership be on a .htaccess file?
Also, does the following look ok?
<Directory /Webhomes/Vanguard_mailer>
<Files *>
AuthName "Test"
AuthType Basic
AuthUserFile /work/vanguard.htpasswd
Require valid-user
</Files>
</Directory>
Can an asterisk be used in <Files> like that?
