This is how the Cobalts do it:
order allow,deny
allow from all
require user admin
Authname CobaltRaQ
Authtype Basic
The line that makes it use the /etc/passwd file is "require user admin"
You are going to have to put each user that you want to access the directory in this line.

Subject: Re: [cobalt-users] apache - sorta off topic
I appreciate everyone trying to help me but I must have been unclear in what
I wanted. I understand how to set up .htaccess protected sites in the manor
described below. I am wanting to replicate what the cobalts do by default
(require that the user/passwd exist in /etc/passwd and not have to use
htpasswd) on my redhat 6.1 machine. Thank you for your help.
