correct for the admin user of the site - the perms are wide open and it's
internal server error - perhaps I need more coffee - perhaps I'm missing
something fundamental - but this IS the first site on this machine with
.htaccess to my knowledge:

In your access configuration - /etc/httpd/access.conf - make sure you've got
this directive on:

----snip----
AllowOverride All
----snip----

If the directive is set to 'Off' then that is most likely the problem.  In
addition, you should have the directive:  "AuthPam_Enable off", in your
.htaccess file.  Hope this helps.
