I use a cleaned up redhat 9 version with adjustments for the raq4...

You can get it at
ftp://www.zeffie.com/raq4/mod_auth_mysql-1.11-12.Z1.Sun.Cobalt.Networks.Zeffie.com.raq4.i386.rpm

ftp://www.zeffie.com/raq4/

The rpm installs...
/etc/httpd/conf/auth_mysql.conf
/usr/doc/mod_auth_mysql-1.11
/usr/doc/mod_auth_mysql-1.11/mod_auth_mysql.txt
/usr/doc/mod_auth_mysql-1.11/mysql-group-auth.txt
/usr/lib/apache/mod_auth_mysql.so

apache is not updated... you need to do that on your own using the sample
file (or file to include) located at /etc/httpd/conf/auth_mysql.conf
