Tried compiling without mod_auth_db.o, still got same problem.
>How-To-Repeat:
Create a user by "dbmmanage /etc/dbmpasswd adduser guest"
Edit .htaccess file to use "AuthDBUserFile /etc/dbmpasswd" ... works.
Edit .htaccess file to use "AuthDBMUserFile /etc/dbmpasswd" ... failed.
Recompiled without mod_auth_db.o, still got same problem.

No.
