I have seen a *lot* of posts about this issue over the last few days.

I have a Raq 4i and this .htaccess script fails to work (as shown in the
cobalt knowledge base)
on my box :-

# Access file
order allow,deny
allow from all
require valid-user
Authname DirectoryName
Authtype Basic
AuthUserFile /home/sites/sitename/users/username/.htpasswd


however after some digging about I found that this script works very well.

# Access File
AuthUserFile /mnt/web/guide/somewhere/somepath/.htpasswd
AuthGroupFile /dev/null
AuthName Somewhere.com's Secret Section
AuthType Basic
<Limit GET POST>
require valid-user
</Limit>

Not sure if it is as secure but seems to do the job nicely.
