[cobalt-users] confused by .htaccess

["Gerhard W. Recher "<gwr@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi list

we have webalizer 1.3 installed on RAQ4i

we generated .htaccess files with following content:

#Access file
order allow,deny
allow from all
require group sitexxx
Authname WebStats
Authtype Basic


<snip>
    if (!-e '$thepath/.htaccess')
    {
#       my $string = "#Access file\norder allow,deny\nallow from all\nrequire group $name\nAuthname WebStats\nAuthtype Basic";
       my $string = "#Access file\norder allow,deny\nallow from all\nAuthname WebStats\nAuthtype Basic";
       open HTACCESS, qq(>$thepath/.htaccess);
       print HTACCESS $string;
       close HTACCESS;
       chmod 0744, qq($thepath/.htaccess);
    }
    if (!-e '$theftppath/.htaccess')
    {
#       my $string = "#Access file\norder allow,deny\nallow from all\nrequire group $name\nAuthname FtpStats\nAuthtype Basic";
       my $string = "#Access file\norder allow,deny\nallow from all\nAuthname FtpStats\nAuthtype Basic";
       open HTACCESS, qq(>$theftppath/.htaccess);
       print HTACCESS $string;
       close HTACCESS;
       chmod 0744, qq($theftppath/.htaccess);
    }
    if (!-e '$themailpath/.htaccess')
    {
#       my $string = "#Access file\norder allow,deny\nallow from all\nrequire group $name\nAuthname MailStats\nAuthtype Basic"; <<<<<<commented out due to .htaccess misbehaviour....
       my $string = "#Access file\norder allow,deny\nallow from all\nAuthname MailStats\nAuthtype Basic";
       open HTACCESS, qq(>$themailpath/.htaccess);
       print HTACCESS $string;
       close HTACCESS;
       chmod 0744, qq($themailpath/.htaccess);
    }
</snip>


this worked fine for a while but now we have to modify because NO ONE gains access to these pages.... to read as:

#Access file
order allow,deny
allow from all
Authname WebStats
Authtype Basic


conclusion this means, all Users on the system will have acces to all stats-pages.... this is not a solution...

I searched with google and on the list, but i get no REAL HOWTO to this problem.

how can we fix this problem ??
