mod_dav (webDAV) authentication

Hello,

I've managed to get webDAV working so I can share out files to a bunch
of laptops at work.

Alias /files "/var/www/files"

<Directory "/var/www/files">
DAV on
</Directory>

<IfModule mod_dav_fs.c>
# Location of the WebDAV lock database.
DAVLockDB /var/lib/dav/lockdb
</IfModule>

This works great however it presents no security what so ever. I'd like
to add at least a basic level of security. I've gotten this far, and it
pops up the username/password box now, but it never seems to accept the
password.

Alias /files "/var/www/files"

<Directory "/var/www/files">
DAV on
AllowOverride None
Options None
<Limit PUT POST DELETE PROPFIND PROPPATCH MKCOL COPY MOVE LOCK
UNLOCK>
AuthType Basic
AuthName "Authorized Access Only"
AuthUserFile /var/www/passwd/users
Require user pham fred doug
</Limit>
</Directory>

<IfModule mod_dav_fs.c>
# Location of the WebDAV lock database.
DAVLockDB /var/lib/dav/lockdb
</IfModule>

This is Apache 2.0.40 on redhat 9.0, and I'm trying to connect using
Windows 2000 and the add network places.

Any suggestions on how to get this working would be greatly appreciated.

Dork, Dork, Dork....

Found my own problem. I had forgotten to make the passwd file readable
to the web server.

chgrp apache users
chmod 640 users

solved the problem.
