Very Computer

I have 2 distinct passwd files, and two distinct directories protected
with .htaccess files. One .htaccess uses pass1, and the other uses
pass2. In both directories, it authenticates uses properly. The odd
thing is, for one the directories,

        $user= $ENV{'REMOTE_USER'};

returns the username entered, but for the other, it returns NULL, even
though both authenticate. Any ideas?

One common problem is having an HTML page requiring authentication and
referring to a CGI that does not.
