I'm using Apache 1.0.5 (straight from ftp.apache.org) with MD5 encryption
and it works fine. You should not need DES at all.
What does your htpwd file look like? You should have entries like:
foobar:$1$Dh$nlJJz4Oh7YyDBgBL1n8Z80
I'd also check your HTTP log files (particularly the error log), it may not
be looking in the right place for the password file (possible configuration
error in access.conf).
