[ale] htaccess files?

[Robert L. Harris]

  Ok, I've read the apache.org doc on setting up a .htaccess file for a
directory.  I've created my file and put a <Location> section in my
apache2.conf file.

{0}:cgi-bin/homeaut>cat .htaccess 
AuthType Basic
AuthName "Password Required"
AuthUserFile /var/www/passwords/password.file
#AuthGroupFile /var/www/passwords/group.file
Require user foo bar

nomad at wally
{0}:cgi-bin/homeaut>ls -la .htaccess 
-rw-r--r--    1 root     sys           160 Apr  6 17:25 .htaccess

In my apache2.conf:

<Location /cgi-bin/homeaut>
   AllowOverride AuthConfig
</Location>


When I try to load http://site/cgi-bin/homeaut/index.cgi though it loads
right up without asking for authorization.

Anyone got a hint?

Robert
