Re: OpenBSD's HTTPD troubles AGAIN - Can't find any man page that explains how to properly set up directory authentication.

You are a legend. Got it working with that!

Thank you so much, saved me a bigger headache!

p.s. Still, looking at the man page that really is not obvious where it mentions [realm] and [htpasswd]. I read it totally differently, that the htpasswd is a location to a file and not just a declaration to look for a file in the current dir named htpasswd etc. I wonder where did "Secure Area" came from too, 'realm' is mentioned but I had not a clue what it even was. I still don't. I cannot stand the man page for httpd.conf - so much frustration for me.
