>Description:
mod_auth_dbm tries to be too smart and appends .db to your authdatabase filename.
>How-To-Repeat:
install apache with mod_auth_dbm
>Fix:
DOCUMENT that if you authenticate with AuthDBMUserFile that apache does NOT look for thefile you name but [your file].db
this wasted hours of my time and it. Even better, make apache read the file the user specifies and dont' magically append file suffixes.
