Close, you *want* PAM in this case, and no reference to etc/passwd
eg:

       order allow,deny
         allow from all
         require valid-user   
         Authname "Kundenbereich"
         AuthPAM_Enabled on
         Authtype Basic

NOTE: this allows *any* site user with a valid password on the machine, if
you want just that user, change 'valid-user' to 'user username' , if you
want to allow anyone with a valid password, but only related to users for
that site, use group instead of user...

ps: .htpasswd files and etc/passwd files are in different formats, you can
not use them interchangably , besides, etc/passwd doesn't have any
passwords in it any more anyhow ;)

OK, i have to ask....what does Kundenbereich mean? lol
