None of the FrontPage sites require passwords <frown>.  The only other
site appearing to use the .htaccess file is the cobalt gui, which
appears to work correctly.  If you wish, I can give you the
username/password information offlist should you need to look at this
yourself.

While it looks like you're asking the right questions, Will, the fact
remains that all of these appear to be as on the RaQ2 that works
