 (I have not received your direct e-mail, for whatever reason, but I saw
 your update in the bug database...)

 I just re-configured the access.conf file to:

 <Directory /var/mrtg >
         AllowOverride None
         AuthName netpriv
         AuthType Basic
         AuthUserFile /vol1/apache/security/passwd
         AuthGroupFile /vol1/apache/security/group
         require group netpriv webadmin
 </Directory>

 HUP'd the server and tried accessing - the following is from the error
 log:

 [Tue Mar  3 08:56:48 1998] SIGHUP received.  Attempting to restart
 [Tue Mar  3 08:56:48 1998] Server configured -- resuming normal operations
 [Tue Mar  3 08:57:08 1998] access to /var/mrtg/techctr1.5.html failed for
 172.23.28.146, reason: Client denied by server configuration

 There was NO prompt for a username/password and this was a fresh (Netscape
 4.03) session.

 FYI:
 # ll -d /var/mrtg
 drwxrwxr-x   2 sorrell  staff      32768 Feb 27 17:30 /var/mrtg/
 # ll /var/mrtg/techctr1.5.html
 -rw-rw-r--   1 sorrell  staff       7104 Feb 27 16:15

 Thanks for looking into this -
