are you using the htpasswd utility?

Martin, thanks:
I did as shown below, no different than what I've been doing and the same error after three failed log-ins. This example does place .htaccess and .htpasswd in the same directory- I have them in different directories before, but it still acts the same.
No example ever mentions permissions, nor have I seen too many set-up more complicated than these example set-ups.
If it's not file permissions (ie the server can't access .htpasswd or something) than am I missing something from the install because I did a minimal install and added just a few things to get the web server and ssh working.
What's frustrating is that it seem's like it works/behaves corrrectly in everything but verifying the password.
This is supposed to be real easy right? I don't see to much fuss in deja or geocrawler, so I guess for the most part it's set the files and go! I'm not so lucky I guess.

Here's the output for test_user (password=test):
In order to finish with the password protection of your directory, create a file named .htaccess with the following contents:
AuthUserFile /usr/local/httpd/htdocs//.htpasswd AuthName "Passwortgeschuetzter Bereich:" AuthType Basic require valid-user
Then create a file named .htpasswd with the following contents:
test_user:aaqPiZY5xR5l.
Copy these two files to /usr/local/httpd/htdocs/ on your server and this directory should be protected.
