Afaik mod_auth_external works for Apache 2.0, but not 2.2. That's what 
mod_authnz_external is for. Am still puzzled why it works on some boxes and 
not on others. It's probably just a simple permission hunch that got broken 
during one YUM update or other.

Am still looking into this.

On a box where I needed .htaccess directory protection with passwords myself 
I'm now using "mod_auth_mysql" (get it through YUM) on the interim.

Once installed, check /usr/share/doc/mod_auth_mysql-3.0.0/CONFIGURE for usage 
examples and how your MySQL table has to look. You can have this up and 
running in 10-15 minutes of fiddling if need be.
