|AFAIK, it overwrites the .htaccess each time.  To "fix" this see:

=============

The Webalizer 2.01 package from cobalt-aid.sourceforge.net odoes not overwrite the .htaccess file.  here's the code from the /usr/bin/webalizer2.pl script that runs webalizer:


 # Create a .htaccess if it isn't there yet
    if (!-e '$thepath/.htaccess')
    {        
       # build the file
       my $htaccess = "# Access file";
       $htaccess = "$htaccess \nAuthName \"Stats for $asite\"";
       $htaccess = "$htaccess \nAuthType Basic";
       $htaccess = "$htaccess \nAuthPAM_Enabled off";
       $htaccess = "$htaccess \nAuthUserFile $prefix/.htpasswd";
       $htaccess = "$htaccess \nAuthGroupFile $prefix/.htgroups";
       $htaccess = "$htaccess \nrequire group all $asite";
             
       open HTACCESS, qq(>$thepath/.htaccess);
       print HTACCESS $htaccess;
       close HTACCESS;
       chmod 0744, qq($thepath/.htaccess);
    }
