Very Computer

Hi,

I'll ask this again as my previous post seemed to vanish somewhere.

How do I enable user authentication using Apache that came with
Red Hat Linux 2.1 ?

Preferably I would like to do this from /etc/passwd, but it won't be
a big hassle to set up a cronjob to update Apache's own
passwd files if that is necessary.

I tried it according to manuals, but it didn't quite work,
authentication always failed due to wrong password. Also
the prompt that Netscape presented was quite weird, it prompted
for user authentication for my hostname which appeared twice
in the prompt.

Thanks for any help

Help,
I need books, advice, vendor etc..
I have a SUN running Solaris 5.x and NetScape as the WWW server.
I'd like to compose a form that grabs a user's query criteria (I can
do the CGI stuff no prblem) and pass it to a SAS database with ODBC,
grab the rows, plug them in an HTML file and serve it back to the user.
I can do this easily if I switch to Win NT/ SQL Server. Is there an easy
alternative for SUN, NetScape, ODBC? How about a hard solution? I'll
take that too.
