This is what /home/sites/site2/web/stats/.htaccess looks like:

#Access file
order allow,deny
allow from all
require group site2
Authname WebStats
Authtype Basic
AuthAuthoritative off
[root stats]#

tried a tail -f /var/log/auth and just get:

Dec 15 22:34:37 ns pwdb_chkpwd[12702]: password not found

Anyone got any more ideas?  I have no idea why this has happened.
