Why not use a htacces file like this?

order allow,deny
allow from all
require valid-user
Authname DirectoryName
AuthPAM_Enabled off
Authtype Basic
AuthUserFile /home/sites/site8/web/protected/.htpasswd

then just go via telnet in the dir, you want to protect an type

/usr/sbin/htpasswd -c .htpasswd 

than follow the instructions on the screen.
Thats all.
