BSDI 3.1 fully patched, gcc
>Description:
Here's what happens when I launch 1.3b5....

[www *root*]:/usr/local/sys/startScripts> /usr/local/sys/bin/httpd_1.3b5 -f /etc/config/httpd/conf/httpd.conf.82
Syntax error on line 685 of /etc/config/httpd/conf/httpd.conf.82:
AuthName takes one argument, The authentication realm (e.g. "Members Only")

This does not happen when I launch non-beta versions of Apache. Here's the offending configuration...

<Directory /archive/www/peninsula/tci>
AuthName   TCI Staff    <<<<<<<<< ***********    THIS IS LINE 685
AuthType   Basic
AuthUserFile   /archive/www/httppass/tci/access
Options Indexes
<Limit GET>
require valid-user
</Limit>
</Directory>
-----Emacs: httpd.conf.82      (Fundamental)--L685--87%------------------------------------------------------------------------
>How-To-Repeat:
I can repeat it and will gladly help if needed. I'd be surprised if you can't repeat it. I'll send my (one) configuration file if you'd like
>Fix:
Thanks for all your fine efforts!
