Two things: 1. register_globals were already turned on 2. Surely the PHP designers would not force users to have such a major security advantage turned off for getting a variable that is a true apache-var? So problems remains: Where did the REMOTE_USER go? I am BTW running Apache 2.0 with PHP 4.2.2 as a CGI-module. When it worked last time I was "only" running Apache 1.3.26. Maybe the Apache-guys changed something?! Could be a RTFM-case... Well, probably I should drop using Apache's old auth-sceme and run all in PHP anyway. Thank you for the input.

HTTP authentication with PHP The HTTP Authentication hooks in PHP are only available when it is running as an Apache module and is hence not available in the CGI version. -- David Robley Temporary Kiwi!

I think the "HTTP Authentication hooks" are something a little different but the problem might be related. My other settings actually worked well for a long time, then I upgraded Apache & PHP and gone were the remote_user. Thank you for drawing my attention to the relevant passage.
