Thanks for the help. I had my order statement in there (didn't include in post), and had the wrong order. I tried 'mutual-failure' and that worked. SO I read the apache docs one more time and it did say it (mutual-failure) was depreciated in favor of 'Order allow,deny'. Was also missing a AuthName line which flushed itself out once I had the Order statement in correct order. Thanks again v/r Mike On Mon, Jun 18, 2001 at 09:22:20PM -0700, David A.
