I did write any of this! Anyway, what's the solution?
Then Cees finally seals the deal:
SuSE 7.2 has a bug that disables the use of 'AuthType basic' and 'AuthUserFile' in a .htaccess file. Possible this bug is also active if you use /etc/httpd/httpd.conf and not .htaccess.
Put a comment (#) in front of the line with 'mod_auth_nds.c' in the file /etc/httpd/suse_addmodule.conf and restart apache. This worked for me.
Daniel Woodard capped with: This worked for me also! Go Cees! This fix is spot-on. I did try some more last week to no avail. I edited out "mod_auth_nds.c" httpd.conf and restarted apache, rewrote .htaccess and .htpasswd and poof! It works for the first time! This is a bug or a conflict or oversight or something! Thanks Cees and Martin!
