I set up http://www.cgi-factory.com/password/index.shtml Password Manager in
a client's FrontPage web site with no problems.
In the cfg.pl file I set the path as
$passfile="/home/sites/site#/.htpasswd"; with site# being that site's
directory.

The .htaccess file for the directories it creates looks like:
AuthPAM_Enabled off
Options -Indexes
AuthUserFile /home/sites/site#/.htpasswd
AuthGroupFile /dev/null
AuthName "Protected Directory"
AuthType Basic
<Limit GET PUT POST>
require valid-user
</Limit>
