[ale] Apache .htaccess

[Gary Maltzen]

You need to have the "AuthConfig" feature of "AllowOverride" enabled
for any directory (tree) using ".htaccess" authentication

Something like this in /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf

 <Directory /home/quadserv/members>
   AllowOveride AuthConfig
   Options MultiViews Indexes IncludesNoExec
   Order allow,deny
   Deny from all
 </Directory>
