Thanks Steve.
I think im on my way now. If I understand you correctly, I need to compile
mod_auth_mysql then run apxs with the apropriate file.

The key for me right now is getting past the compiling. I know where the
/mysql files are, its the right Apache directory that im lost on.
Unfortunately, being new to the RAQ means im exploring everything fresh and
new.

I will get there, thanks for starting me on the right path..
