Just as a side note, according to Apache, you should not put your .htpasswd file in
a web readable directory. Put it in /home/sites/siteXX/    rather than within or
under /home/sites/siteXX/web/  (XX is the site number). It works fine...the Cobalt
example is wack...

Oh yeah, this might save you some typing, htpasswd has it's path already setup so
you can just type:

htpasswd -c /home/sites/siteXX/.htpasswd some-a-holes-username

at least on my RAQ2...
