[cobalt-users] Problems with htaccess file

["The Thieving Gypsy" <lists@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi List,

I've got a problem getting an .htaccess file to work on a RaQ4. This is my
first one on a Cobalt, and I'm not having much success.  I've tried a file
in the exact format as suggested on the Cobalt Knowledge base (eg:

# Access file
order allow,deny
allow from all
require valid-user
Authname "My Secure Directory"
Authtype Basic
AuthUserFile /etc/.htpasswd

I've also tried a pretty standard .htaccess file which I've used a lot on
FreeBSD and Redhat eg:

AuthUserFile /etc/.htpasswd
AuthGroupFile /dev/null
AuthName "My Secure Directory"
AuthType Basic

<Limit GET>
require user dave
</Limit>

The .htpasswd file has been created, and accepts new users with no problems,
but when I put the URL into a browser I can still access the directory as
usual.  Is there some trick to getting .htaccess files working on a RaQ4
that no-one's told me about, or am I completely missing the obvious?

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks
              Dave
