Very Computer

I keep getting the following error when trying to authenticate users to
a protected directory.  The .htaccess file has the following lines in
it:

AuthName "Members Only"
AuthType Basic
AuthDBMUserFile /usr/passwords/password-file
<Limit GET POST> require valid-user</Limit>

Upon trying to get validated the following error occurs:

Internal Server Error

The server encountered an internal error or misconfiguration and was
unable to complete your request.

inform them of the time the error occurred, and
anything you might have done that may have caused the error.

/domains/hcs/start/members/.htaccess: Invalid command 'AuthDBMUserFile',
perhaps mis-spelled or defined by a module not
included in the server configuration

I tried using apache 1.3 and 1.4 and both get the same message.

Please help

2. Get rid of the <Limit GET POST> and </Limit> parts of that line.
They are more than likely unecessary and probably a security risk
in this setting.
