  Hi,

  I am a new FreeBSD user and need some help with setting up users and
  password with
  apache. Somehow passwords in .htpasswd are not recognized. I know that it
  is not a apache
  problem since exact same apace configuration works my BSDI systems.

  My access.conf file (partial)
  ----------------------------------------
  <Directory /usr/home/sam>
          AllowOverride Limit
       AuthUserFile /usr/home/sam/.htpasswd
       AuthGroupFile /dev/null
       AuthName Sam's home directory
       AuthType Basic
          <Limit GET>
            require usr sam
          </Limit>
  </Directory>


  My srm.conf file (partial)
  -----------------------------------
  Alias             /temp      /usr/home/sam

  My .htpasswd file (created with htpasswd -c option)
  -------------------------
  sam:WATYZSUaWiz8g

  When I try to access the 'www...../temp' directory I get the familiar
  'username and password required'
  box but the passwords are not accepted.  I even tried to copy master.passwd
  file and edited
  it to make it look like the .htpasswd file but that did not work either.

  I think problem is somewhere in FreeBSD encryption packages. I remember
  installing some encryption
  package at the FreeBSD installation time but I am not sure about the names.

  1.  How can I make sure what encryption packages are installed on the system?
      (When I do 'su' I get a  "su: kerberos: not in root's ACL." message" so I
  think it is kerberos).
      Is there any way to remove these packages?

  2. Any ideas about the htpasswd problem?

  Thanks in advance.

  NOTE :  I have not subscribed to the FreeBSD mailing list so please respond to
   my e-mail
  address.
